United States · AI Regulations
The country's own AI governance approach, risk tiers, transparency duties, and its official authority.
AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
There is no comprehensive federal AI statute; NIST's voluntary AI Risk Management Framework is the principal federal reference, while sector regulators apply existing law and some states are enacting their own AI rules.
- NIST's AI RMF offers a voluntary framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) for managing AI risk.
- Sector regulators such as the FTC apply existing law to AI. Two state laws are already in force — California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act (1 January 2026) and Colorado's AI Act (30 June 2026) — and a federal push to preempt state AI laws is under way but has not been enacted by Congress, so they stand.
