State legislatures are advancing AI regulation across five key categories: companion chatbot disclosures, deepfake requirements, frontier model transparency, algorithmic discrimination rules, and AI liability frameworks. Colorado's SB 189 represents a significant shift in approach, effectively repealing and replacing the original Colorado AI Act with new compliance obligations that companies must navigate carefully.

In this episode of Privacy Perspectives, Alex Schneider is joined by Laura Riposo VanDruffSalim Rashid, and Joseph Cahill for a focused discussion on what has become one of the most active state legislative seasons for AI regulation. The group maps the landscape across five emerging categories of AI bills — companion chatbot disclosures, deepfake and watermarking requirements, frontier model transparency obligations, algorithmic discrimination rules, and AI liability frameworks — and examines what the pace of activity means for companies trying to build durable compliance programs. They also talk about Colorado’s recently passed SB 189, which is effectively a repeal and replacement of the original Colorado AI Act, what changed, what was removed, and the associated compliance planning challenges.
