AI: As state legislatures began to address AI, 15 states passed 20 new laws that either build capacity for state governments to understand and address AI or target issue-specific concerns.

Today we released our second annual report on the State of State Technology Policy. 2023 was a landmark year for state tech policy, with state governments enacting 65 pieces of tech-related legislation. https://t.co/EmXbXTE8w5

Child safety: Thirteen state legislatures passed 23 online child safety laws that impose age verification requirements, limit on social media use by minors, or grant parents more control over their children’s social media use.

We emphasize the need for a public policy framework targeting electoral harms not the tech itself; promote learning abt GAI to separate what we “think” can happen from what evidence shows us can happen; & targeting electoral harms because they are not exclusive to 1 type of ad.

[Center on Tech Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill @UNC_TechPolicy]

While research suggests some of the risks have been overstated, we argue generative AI content in political ads poses greater risk to local & down-ballot races than major campaigns, & that political ads are likely to amplify the biases found in many generative AI models.

We are excited to announce a new publication written by @jsbrennen and @mattperault and published with @cgousu on how policymakers should approach age assurance.

Finally, regulators can help us understand better the impacts of different verification methods.
