States move to rein in facial recognition policing

AI is being used to make decisions about people and to watch them, often without clear notice or rules. This cause pushes for transparency so people know when AI affects them, and for firm limits on AI-powered surveillance. Winning means clear disclosure, consent, and enforceable guardrails—especially for government use.

Why this matters now

AI can shape real outcomes, like whether you get a loan or whether police treat you as a suspect. When these systems are hidden, people cannot understand decisions or challenge mistakes.

AI-driven surveillance tools like facial recognition can also misidentify people. Those errors can lead to wrongful arrests, damage trust, and chill free speech when people feel watched.

What's blocking progress

Agencies and companies often resist disclosure, citing safety needs or trade secrets. Poorly written rules can also face First Amendment and legal challenges, slowing progress.
