HR 1177 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Consumer Protection Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights.

This House resolution encourages Congress to allow states like North Carolina to regulate artificial intelligence for consumer protection purposes. It asserts that state governments should retain the authority to investigate and enforce laws against unfair or deceptive practices involving AI systems. The bill opposes any federal restrictions that would prevent states from applying their existing consumer protection rules to new technologies. Ultimately, it aims to ensure that local laws remain effective in addressing commercial abuses regardless of whether artificial intelligence is used.
