There are some other interesting AI-related bills too! SB 5956 from Sen. Nobles bans AI surveillance in schools (actually it's written in terms of ADS in general -- good although not as catchy). HB 2157 from Rep. Ryu covers AI in high-risk situations. Both have hearings this week! #waleg

excellent coverage, thanks!
There's also some AI-related legislation, and a couple of privacy bills from last session that may or may not be back, and who knows what else.
And of course a whole bunch of other important bills on other topics. So stay tuned, it should be interesting!

(We've heard that Flock isn't going to try to kill the bill; they're resigned to the fact that *something* is going to pass, so they'll try to make it as weak as possible -- for example 30-day retention or even 60-day, like in Virginia. We'll push for 3 minutes, like in New Hampshire.)

My Health My Data's budget was $0, which made things easier. But AGO resources are spread much much much more thinly these days so I can see why they thought they'd need additional people.
