Kris Mayes joins 25 AGs to demand federal AI regulation
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has joined a coalition of 25 state attorneys general calling on the federal government to establish national regulation of artificial intelligence. The coalition's push signals growing pressure from state-level officials for Congress or federal agencies to set binding AI rules.
Why this matters: Twenty-six top state law enforcement officials agreeing on anything is notable. They are telling Washington that states cannot patch this together on their own. Right now AI companies operate in a patchwork of state laws, voluntary commitments, and essentially no federal floor. That means protections depend on where you live. A federal standard could fix that, or it could preempt tougher state rules and leave people with less protection than they have today. The details of what these AGs are actually asking for will matter enormously.
