Key Requirement
Connecticut has not enacted a comprehensive AI law — its high-risk AI bill (SB 2) passed the Senate but died in the House in 2024 and failed again in 2025. Narrow measures apply: a state-agency AI inventory, an automated-decision opt-out under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and (effective July 1, 2026) a duty to disclose when personal data is used to train large language models. Existing consumer-protection and anti-discrimination laws may also apply to AI.
NYC Local Law 144 requires annual independent bias audits for automated employment decision tools. Separately, the RAISE Act — signed December 2025, effective January 1, 2027 — imposes safety-protocol, incident-reporting, and oversight duties on large frontier-AI developers.
