Connecticut's comprehensive online-safety and AI governance act, establishing a statewide AI Policy Office and Director, an AI Learning Laboratory Program, a Connecticut AI Academy, an AI working group, and a Technology Advisory Board. It mandates disclosures for subscription-based AI providers, imposes obligations on frontier-model developers, requires synthetic digital content to be machine-detectable, prohibits using automated employment-decision processes in discriminatory ways, and creates workforce development and health-outcome programs leveraging AI. Applies broadly to private AI developers and government agencies alike.
