What happened
South Carolina lawmakers are struggling to regulate artificial intelligence as its use expands in the state. Despite the growing use of AI, there is currently no law that requires its users to disclose whether they are AI or not. Two Statehouse committees formed to define artificial intelligence policies have yielded little, and only two pieces of legislation related to AI have become law in the past legislative session. The state lags behind most others in the U.S. regarding AI legislation, according to the Council of State Governments.

The use of AI in industries such as mental health care and insurance remains unresolved, and the state has yet to develop a concrete definition for what artificial intelligence is. The reluctance to regulate AI has frustrated some members of the legislature, who argue that the fear of overregulating the emerging tech is holding back progress.
