Summary
The article examines how the EU's AI Act may trigger a 'Brussels effect,' where EU regulations influence AI governance globally and in US states, similar to how GDPR shaped data privacy laws. With federal AI legislation stalled in the US, states are taking the lead on AI regulation, but the article's title suggests that corporate lobbying is significantly influencing the shape and effectiveness of these state-level AI laws, potentially weakening their protective provisions.

The adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act in the European Union (EU) this year has triggered speculation about the potential for a ‘Brussels effect’: when EU regulation has a global impact as companies adopt the rules to make it easier to operate internationally, or new laws elsewhere are based on the EU’s approach. The ways in which the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — the EU’s rules on data privacy — influenced state-level legislation and corporate self-governance in the United States is a prime example of how this can happen, particularly when federal legislation is stalled and states take the lead, which is where US AI governance is today.
