AI Policy and Regulation Resources
Topics Overview
Welcome to Wash U Law’s AI Policy and Regulation page! This page is designed to help students and other members of the law school community explore the rapidly changing landscape of AI Policy and Regulation. (If you are visiting from outside the law school community, we welcome you as well!)
This page is designed to help you…
Orient yourself to a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
Like other transformative technologies, AI strains our existing legal doctrines and regulations. It can be dizzying to track the varied approaches different courts and state legislatures are adopting. We’ve designed this page to give you a high-level overview of this varied, developing field.
Think critically about the legal tools we have at our disposal.
AI presents new challenges and may require the use of brand-new legal concepts. However, existing legal regimes like torts and data privacy may also provide frameworks that can be suited for AI regulation. We’ve designed this site to help you compare how similar topics are being handled by different policymakers.
Think creatively as (future) lawyers and policymakers.
In the face of rapid technological change, lawyers need to be nimble and imaginative. We’ve designed this site to encourage you to think, not just about where Al regulation is today, but also where it should go in the future.
What you will find here
To help you easily track different approaches to similar legal issues, we have grouped regulations by category. For each category, you can read a brief, high-level summary of common issues addressed by different state laws. Where examples are included in the summaries, they are not meant to be exhaustive but rather designed to help orient you to the various policy levers different states are using in that area.
Below the summaries, you will also find links to each statute or regulation.
