Summary
This article analyzes the landscape of US federal AI-related legislation, examining why over 150 bills have been introduced in Congress without any successfully passing into law.

# US Federal AI Legislation in 2024: The Current Landscape
It is estimated that [about 42%](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2024-01-10-Data-Suggests-Growth-in-Enterprise-Adoption-of-AI-is-Due-to-Widespread-Deployment-by-Early-Adopters) of companies are using AI in some way. While this can bring considerable benefits to both organisations and consumers by automating tasks, streamlining processes, and allowing greater personalization, it is important to balance innovation with compliance.
This is because AI systems under the scope of relevant [existing laws](https://www.holisticai.com/blog/existing-laws-apply-ai) in various jurisdictions, and several high-profile [lawsuits](https://www.holisticai.com/blog/generative-ai-lawsuits) have already been brought against companies using AI in ways that do not prioritise compliance.
There is also an increasing impetus to regulate AI specifically due to the novel risks that it can pose, resulting in lawmakers around the introducing requirements that codify [responsible AI](https://www.holisticai.com/glossary/responsible-ai) practices.
Much of this activity has occurred in the US, where [AI risk management](https://www.ai-risk-management.com/) has been codified into proposed laws at the local, state, and federal levels. This blog post explores several key pieces of horizontal and vertical US federal AI laws making their way through the legislative process in 2024 that organizations need to keep in mind.
