EPIC Presents to Lawmakers on State AI Legislation

January 30, 2025

EPIC Law Fellow Kara Williams presented this week to the Multistate AI Policymaker Working Group (MAP-WG) on EPIC’s priorities for state bills addressing algorithmic discrimination. Specifically, EPIC was asked to discuss Connecticut and Texas AI bills currently under consideration.

The MAP-WG is a bipartisan group of more than 200 state lawmakers from nearly every state that meets to discuss AI and other technologies and how to best regulate them. Williams’s presentation urged lawmakers to prohibit algorithmic discrimination, ensure their legislation contains broad definitions without loopholes, and include robust enforcement mechanisms, including a private right of action.

EPIC is a leading voice on state AI policy and has published an AI Legislation Scorecard to guide legislators in crafting strong comprehensive AI laws.
