California is home to some of the world's largest AI companies and has passed more laws regulating AI than any other state.

Seven of those laws went into effect this month.

They fall under two main categories, accountability and transparency.

One law prevents AI chatbots from misrepresenting themselves as doctors, nurses, and other licensed professionals.

Another protects minors from abuse by AI chatbots.

And a third law requires law enforcement agencies to disclose when AI is used to draft police reports.

Last month, President Trump signed an executive order to discourage and challenge state governments on their attempts to regulate AI.
