Federal vs. State: AGs, Governors & Congress on Who Should Govern AI

About this session

A multi-level debate bringing together sitting Attorney Generals, Governors, and Members of Congress to examine the most explosive fault line in U.S. AI governance: federal preemption of state AI laws. Connecticut just passed sweeping AI legislation (May 2026), Delaware is pioneering a first-in-nation OpenAI certification partnership, and Colorado's AI Act takes effect June 30, 2026 — while Washington pushes for a single national standard. Who wins, and what does it mean for every company operating across state lines?
