“Last year, legislators introduced at least 20 bills aimed at defining or regulating AI use and strengthening consumer protections, though most failed or were vetoed,” Virignia Scope reported.

“Lawmakers have begun pre-filing bills ahead of the Jan. 14 General Assembly session, with early proposals—largely from Democratic legislators—focused on tightening rules around AI and protecting minors. Dels. Cliff Hayes of Chesapeake and Michelle Maldonado of Manassas are among those backing new restrictions as artificial intelligence becomes more widely used.”
