78 Bills, 27 States, and the White House Wants Them All Gone

Twenty-seven states have introduced 78 chatbot safety bills in just two months. Oregon passed the first one this week. Florida's Senate voted 35-2 for an AI Bill of Rights — only for the House to kill it under White House pressure. And on March 11, two federal deadlines could trigger the first lawsuits against state AI laws.

In this episode:

• The wave of state AI legislation sweeping America in 2026 and why it's overwhelmingly bipartisan
• How Trump's December executive order created an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws — and conditioned $42 billion in broadband funding on compliance
• The child safety carve-out that could be a lifeline for most state chatbot bills
• Colorado's AI Act as the likely first target for federal legal challenge
• The $125 million AI industry spending war between pro- and anti-regulation super PACs ahead of the midterms
