What's In Scope

How AI Legislation bills are selected

In scope is any bill that puts a duty on someone who builds, sells or deploys an automated system: disclosure when a model generates content, testing and notice before an algorithm screens a job applicant or sets a price, limits on government facial recognition, and consent for a synthetic likeness. The tracker follows the mechanism rather than the industry, so an insurance bill and a hiring bill arrive together when both create the same obligation.

Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.

Texas is one of AI Legislation's jurisdictions

The tracker follows this subject everywhere it is legislated, and publishes a monthly issue on what moved across all of them.
