The Algorithmic Update

Welcome to The Algorithmic Update, your source for insights and analysis on the evolving landscape of AI legislation and regulation in the United States.

As artificial intelligence continues to advance, so too do policymakers and regulators in response, working to invest in and support this burgeoning technology, create standards and guardrails for its development, and mitigate potential risks of harm. This newsletter tracks both state and federal regulatory activity on AI, offering timely updates, expert analysis, and actionable insights. From legislation on automated decision-making technologies to data privacy and ethical AI standards, we cover the full spectrum of AI policy in the U.S.

Whether you’re a policymaker, advocate, researcher, hater, or just an AI enthusiast, The Algorithmic Update aims to help you stay ahead of the curve and make sense of the landscape. We break down complex legal and regulatory developments, highlight trends, and explore issues raised by bill proponents and opponents regarding the broader societal impact of AI on everything from civil rights to economic innovation.

Expect to find:

• Monthly Updates on the top AI-related legislative and regulatory efforts at the state and federal levels;

• Key Bills to Track; and

• Insider Perspectives on the landscape, breaking down critical policy debates around AI’s impact on society, from civil rights to economic innovation (yes, even those I might not personally agree with—understanding a diversity of viewpoints are essential to progress), and offering a 360 view of the issues at play

Join us as we navigate the fast-moving world of U.S. AI regulation, helping you make sense of the policies that are shaping our technological future. And maybe, just maybe, more people can come to the table with an informed understanding of the landscape and where other people are coming from.
