# New Privacy Perspectives Episode: State AI Legislation — What’s Moving and What It Means

  May 17, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this episode of Privacy Perspectives, [Alex Schneider](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/alexander-i-schneider) is joined by [Laura Riposo VanDruff](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/laura-riposo-vandruff), [Salim Rashid](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/salim-rashid), and [Joseph Cahill](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/joseph-cahill) for a focused discussion on what has become one of the most active state legislative seasons for AI regulation. The group maps the landscape across five emerging categories of AI bills — companion chatbot disclosures, deepfake and watermarking requirements, frontier model transparency obligations, algorithmic discrimination rules, and AI liability frameworks — and examines what the pace of activity means for companies trying to build durable compliance programs. They also talk about Colorado’s recently passed SB 189, which is effectively a repeal and replacement of the original Colorado AI Act, what changed, what was removed, and the associated compliance planning challenges.
