AK SB 177 — AI deepfakes / cybersecurity / data privacy (dead, 2024)
Alaska · AK SB 177 (33rd Alaska Legislature, 2023-2024)
A 2023-2024 Alaska Senate bill that would have required disclosure of AI-generated deepfakes in campaign communications and addressed state cybersecurity and data privacy. It died without passing: the 33rd Alaska Legislature adjourned on May 15, 2024 with the bill still stuck in Senate committee referrals (Judiciary, then Finance). This entry is kept only as a historical record of a dead bill — it is NOT a law in effect and does not protect anyone today. The same subject matter is being pursued in the current 34th Legislature as AK SB 2.

Alaska · AK HB 358 (33rd Alaska Legislature, 2023-2024)
A 2023-2024 Alaska House bill that would have created defamation claims based on the use of deepfakes and regulated the use of deepfakes in electioneering communications. It passed the House but died without becoming law: the 33rd Alaska Legislature adjourned on May 15, 2024 with the bill stalled in the Senate Rules Committee. This entry is kept only as a historical record of a dead bill — it is NOT a law in effect and does not protect anyone today. The same subject matter is being pursued in the current 34th Legislature as AK SB 33.

TVA data center capacity commitment charge (2026)
Tennessee Valley Authority · Effective October 1, 2026 · Tenn. Valley Auth. Bd. of Dirs. — Data Center Capacity Commitment Charge (approved Aug. 20, 2026; eff. Oct. 1, 2026)
The Tennessee Valley Authority's Board of Directors approved a separate, higher wholesale rate for data centers on August 20, 2026, effective October 1. New or expanding data center loads above 5 megawatts now fall under a Capacity Commitment Charge attached to TVA's data center rate schedules, designed to recover the incremental capacity costs those customers impose on the system. The headline figures are substantial: upfront capacity commitment charges of roughly $1.5 million per megawatt, payable over three to five years, and an all-in average billing increase for data center customers of about 10%, phased in across three consecutive fiscal years. The stated purpose is to keep residential rates low while still serving growing data center demand. TVA matters here out of proportion to a single utility. It is a federal corporate agency supplying power across seven states, so this is not a state rate case but a regional cost-allocation decision reaching a large share of the Southeast — and TVA is among the first large US utilities to adopt a tariff aimed specifically at AI-driven load. Where most 2026 measures in this dataset restrict where data centers may be built, this one changes what they pay to run.

Bartz v. Anthropic
N.D. Cal. · Effective September 5, 2025 · Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, No. 3:24-cv-05417 (N.D. Cal.)
Authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson sued Anthropic over its use of pirated-book datasets to train Claude.

Judge Alsup granted preliminary approval September 25, 2025 and final approval July 20, 2026. The appeal period runs through August 19, 2026; class members will not receive payments until at least end of 2026.
