North Carolina joins 25 states in urging Congress for AI regulation
Twenty-six states, including North Carolina, have joined together to urge Congress to establish federal regulation of artificial intelligence. The coalition represents a significant portion of U.S. states pushing for national action on AI governance.
Why this matters: When more than half of U.S. states tell Congress to act on AI, that is a signal worth paying attention to. States are tired of waiting. They are watching AI move into hiring, policing, healthcare, and public services while federal rules stay absent. A patchwork of state laws is already forming. Federal action could set a single floor for protections, or it could preempt stronger state rules and leave people with less. Which way that cuts depends entirely on what Congress actually writes.
