Artificial intelligence is here to stay, but are the regulations keeping up? In 2026, there are several US state AI laws that businesses should be aware of, as they redefine what it means to use technology for decision-making. From California to Colorado, states have taken it upon themselves to enforce regulations on the use of AI in hiring, announcing laws for employers to watch out for.
There remains some uncertainty on whether they will be allowed to operate as intended. While these laws are meant to protect workers’ rights and interests, the federal government has also indicated that it is prepared to intervene and punish states that regulate AI development and usage. While the fate of these laws remains unknown, state-by-state AI regulations are still on their way.
Many controversial uses of AI are making headlines, but within the employment landscape, the reliance on AI in hiring has many concerned. Understanding the reasons for the underlying concerns of discrimination and bias, many state AI laws have been enacted by 2026, regulating the use of this advanced technology for candidate selection and employer decision-making. Some have already been enforced, while others are set to take effect early next year. Employers that don’t want to risk lawsuits and employee ire can benefit from taking these regulations into account at once.
