26/04/2024 - Connecticut (USA) Senate Approves AI Regulation Bill

argument: Normativa/Regulations - Digital Governance


Connecticut Senate has recently passed a significant AI regulation bill. The bill, which passed with a 24-12 vote following an extensive debate, aims to establish comprehensive guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence in the state. This legislative move by Connecticut puts it at the forefront of states in the U.S. attempting to regulate this rapidly evolving technology sector. The bill specifically targets issues like bias in AI decision-making and seeks to protect individuals from potential harms, such as those posed by manipulated digital content or "deepfakes."

The legislative effort reflects a growing awareness and response to the complex challenges and implications of AI technology in society. It underscores a proactive approach by state lawmakers to manage and mitigate the risks associated with AI, while also promoting responsible usage that benefits society. There is, however, some uncertainty regarding the support of Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont for this bill.
