AI Tribune
Every AI law starts as somebody's request.
A dozen trackers tell you what AI regulation says. None tell you who asked for it that way. AI Tribune records the requests: what companies, trade bodies, unions and civil society ask governments to do about AI, in which documents, who pushed back, and whether they got it. Every claim links to the primary source.
The question layer
What the fight is about
Should state or federal law govern frontier-model safety?
The central jurisdictional fight in US AI policy. One side asks Washington to preempt or pause state AI statutes, by moratorium, executive action, or a federal framework that displaces state law. The other side asks states to keep legislating in the absence of federal rules, and asks Congress not to strip that authority without replacing it.

Who bears liability when a deployed AI system causes harm?
Whether responsibility for harms attaches to the developer of a model, the deployer who put it in front of users, or nobody without proof of fault, and whether liability relief should be traded for participation in government safety programs.
May developers train on copyrighted works without a license?
Whether training on lawfully accessed copyrighted material is fair use (US), a text-and-data-mining exception with or without opt-out (UK/EU), or an act requiring licenses and remuneration, and what developers must disclose about what they trained on.
