At a glance: Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 690, amending CIPA to restrict private plaintiffs from bringing “pen register” and “trap and trace” claims arising from web-based conduct.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation.
