Whether we know the details of where or how, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been part of our lives for many years.
However, the acceleration of AI development, and most notably, its entrance into the mainstream through public-facing tools such as ChatGPT, has placed this technology on the doorstep of nearly every consumer and business.

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, the company whose platform powers ChatGPT, testified to a Senate committee that “if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong.” Yikes.
It should be of little surprise in the context of this and similar commentary that both state and federal legislators are now scrambling to draft regulations governing the use of AI.
