Includes whereas clauses.

Urges the US Congress to take any necessary steps to continue to allow states to regulate harmful uses of artificial intelligence, to allow state entities to retain full investigative and enforcement authority over such harmful uses, to affirm that states may enact laws addressing consumer harms arising from artificial intelligence usage, and to otherwise preserve North Carolina's authority and duty to investigate, regulate, and enforce laws against harmful and deceptive trade practices perpetrated by unlawful actors, regardless of whether those actors use artificial intelligence or more traditional means of subterfuge.
