Most States Are Regulating AI Despite President Trump's Opposition to State-Level Laws
Over 40 U.S. states are actively pursuing AI legislation in 2025-2026, with more than 1,500 bills under consideration and over 100 laws already enacted across 40 states, covering areas from deepfakes and algorithmic discrimination to safety testing and watermarking. Key states include California (comprehensive AI safety and watermarking mandates), Colorado (high-risk AI system requirements), New York (strict protocols for large model makers), and Utah (refined AI policy acts). This proliferation of state-level regulation continues despite the Trump Administration's executive order discouraging state laws and threatening to withhold federal funds from states with 'onerous' AI regulations. The resulting patchwork creates significant compliance complexity for AI developers operating across multiple jurisdictions.

The framework is explicitly positioned to align with emerging regulatory requirements from the EU and California. As a Tier 1 source announcement, this represents OpenAI's formal public stance on frontier model governance and regulatory compliance strategy.
