Lafayette, LA, October 1, 2026 — Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced the formation of a bipartisan group of state governors dedicated to addressing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative stems from a perceived lack of decisive action by the federal government on the rapidly evolving technology.

Governor Moore stated that the group aims to foster collaboration among states to develop strategies and policies related to AI. The specific concerns regarding artificial intelligence that the group intends to address were not detailed in the announcement. Similarly, the exact timeline for the group’s formation, the names of other participating governors, or the specific nature of the perceived federal inaction were not provided.

This move by Maryland’s governor highlights a growing trend among state leaders to take proactive measures on technological advancements that have the potential for broad societal impact. Artificial intelligence is a rapidly developing field with implications for various sectors, including the economy, workforce, and public safety. The formation of such a bipartisan coalition suggests a recognition of the need for a coordinated, multi-state approach to AI governance and regulation.

Further details regarding the group’s membership, meeting schedules, and the agenda for addressing AI concerns are expected to be released as the initiative progresses. The governor’s office has indicated that the group will seek to identify best practices and potential policy frameworks that states can adopt to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence. The current status of federal legislative or regulatory efforts concerning AI was not elaborated upon in the context of the governor’s announcement.
