Lawmakers in Trenton are considering four significant AI bills in the final stretch of this year’s session. They focus on protecting an individual’s right to their own likeness, disclosing the use of AI in certain media, creating safety regulations around frontier AI models, and holding AI operators accountable for harmful activity.

A judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in penalties for violating the state’s consumer protection law more than 43 million times. The penalty order came in a case related to the misuse of Facebook data nearly a decade ago.

Two lawmakers debuted frontier AI model safety bills in Harrisburg yesterday—the first to be introduced after the OpenAI / Hugging Face attacks. They contain strong pre-deployment requirements that would strengthen standards set earlier this year in Illinois and California.
