State lawmakers are considering a bill package that will try to keep artificial intelligence use in check.
The five-bill package just cleared its first panel. It is aimed at protecting New Jersey residents across a broad range of industries and applications.
“As generative AI becomes more commonplace, it’s more important than ever to have safeguards in place to protect New Jerseyans from being duped or deceived,” state Assemblyman Chris Tully wrote in a statement.
Tully is the chair of the Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee.
