Startups in our network are developing and using AI for a wide range of uses, making them important stakeholders in nearly every policy conversation on AI. For startups, all policy impacts their competitiveness. That’s especially true for AI. From capital access, to talent & immigration, to IP frameworks, to government resources—and especially the regulatory environment—all of it impacts AI startups’ success and ability to innovate.
If data and compute are integral to AI innovation, then the facilities that house those resources play an obvious central role and are essential to understand as well.
Nearly all state legislatures adjourned for the year, and they took several notable steps impacting startups and AI, putting forward over 1000 bills related to the technology.
