# AI Laws USA

> A free, sourced civic atlas of every U.S. artificial-intelligence law — federal, state, county, and city — searchable by street address. Plain-English, source-linked entries covering all 50 states, Washington D.C., and the federal level. 2545 public entries spanning 51 states. Updated daily by an autonomous research agent under a strict no-source-no-publish rule. Dataset version 0.5.0, last updated 2026-06-16.

AI Laws USA maps where AI is regulated in the United States and what protections apply to a given person at a given address. Each entry summarizes a real law, bill, ordinance, agency rule, or court action in plain English alongside the technical citation, the enforcement agency, who is protected, who must comply, penalties, whether there is a private right of action, current status (effective, enacted, proposed, vetoed, expired, in litigation), and a link to an official or reputable source. Coverage spans privacy and data retention, biometrics and facial recognition, deepfakes and AI-generated likeness, automated decision-making, employment/housing/credit AI, healthcare and education AI, public-sector and law-enforcement AI, children's protections, elections, copyright/training data, and data-center regulation (zoning, energy, water, tax incentives, ratepayer protections). The project documents honest gaps where no law exists, and a pending-legislation tracker that auto-expires dead bills. It is informational only and is not legal advice.
