The U.S. approach combines federal guidance with state-level legislation and voluntary frameworks: 

• AI Bill of Rights Blueprint: Outlines key protections like algorithmic transparency and bias safeguards. 
• NIST AI Risk Management Framework: Provides a voluntary foundation for trustworthy AI development. 
• State Actions: Virginia’s recently vetoed AI bill sparked new debate on balancing innovation and oversight. 

Impact: The fragmented approach makes compliance more complex, but offers flexibility and stakeholder involvement.
