Comment by Ryan Mackenzie

U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania; chaired a 2026 House hearing on AI's economic impact on workers and employers.
At the same time, some states and localities are moving ahead independently with their own AI regulations. New York, California, Colorado, and others have begun implementing policies intended to address privacy, discrimination, and other workforce concerns. However, some have raised concerns that these policies risk creating a patchwork of inconsistent rules that create compliance challenges and raise costs. For businesses that operate across state lines, navigating conflicting regulations can create challenges. This is especially true for small businesses.
