West Virginia

AI Policy Overview

West Virginia lawmakers have yet to prioritize artificial intelligence policies broadly. However, the Joint Standing Committee held a hearing on May 8, 2023, on emerging trends in AI. Lawmakers raised concerns about the supply chain of AI and whether foreign technology could compromise state systems.

In 2024, West Virginia enacted a law (WV HB 5690) to create a West Virginia Task Force on Artificial Intelligence within the governor's office.
