Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Tees Up State Leaders’ AI Regulation Plan
Maryland Governor Wes Moore is positioning the state to advance an AI regulation plan aimed at state-level governance of artificial intelligence. The move signals Maryland's intent to join the growing number of states developing their own AI oversight frameworks.
Why this matters: States are filling the space the federal government has left open on AI. That matters because state rules can vary wildly, and the people most affected — residents, workers, anyone interacting with AI-driven public services — rarely have a say in how those rules get written. Watch who shapes this plan. Industry-friendly frameworks and civil-liberties-focused ones can look similar on paper and land very differently in practice. The details of what gets regulated, and what gets left alone, are where it counts.
