AI Policy practice
Georgia’s dedicated AI policy and lobbying practice.
We work in concert with AI developers, data center builders, and the corporations deploying AI in regulated industries. Our work runs from the Georgia General Assembly and state agencies to the Georgia congressional delegation and the federal preemption debate, and it is grounded in a firm that builds with these tools itself.
The 2026–2027 calendar
Dates that decide your year.
Every one of these is a fixed point. The work has to be done before it, not after.
The Senate’s SR 789 committee on AI meets through the fall; agencies begin implementation conversations on SB 444 and SB 540; the Georgia Chamber’s Digital Infrastructure Alliance briefs policymakers statewide.
Georgia legislative seats, the Public Service Commission, and the U.S. House. The relationship map changes overnight.
Amendment language you want in January must be drafted, modeled, and socialized before pre-filing opens.
No adverse health-coverage decision may rest solely on AI; a clinical peer must be able to override. Georgia is one of seven states with such a law.
A 40-legislative-day session. Data center ratepayer, tax-exemption, and moratorium bills return; SB 540 clarifying amendments are in play.
AI chatbot disclosure, protections for minors, privacy tools, and self-harm response protocols, with no carve-out for chatbots embedded in broader services.
The Great American AI Act discussion draft would preempt state AI laws for three years; the White House framework centers preemption. Every company under state AI law has a stake.
What we do
Engagements built for the way AI policy actually moves.
- Compliance-and-advocacy playbook
A gap assessment against SB 444, SB 540, or the statute in question; a multistate comparison; an implementation roadmap; and a recommended legislative or regulatory ask. Fixed fee, four to six weeks.
- Session representation
Direct advocacy on amendments and implementing rules at the Georgia General Assembly, committee testimony, and weekly session intelligence with passage-probability updates. Retainer from October through sine die.
- Data center license to operate
County commissions, development authorities, the Public Service Commission, and Georgia Power’s large-load process, coordinated with a community engagement plan built before the first public meeting.
- Federal delegation strategy
Engagement with the Georgia congressional delegation on preemption, data center and energy policy, workforce, and cybersecurity, tied to the committees where those members sit.
- Public-sector AI engagement
Agency navigation, stakeholder mapping, and adoption advocacy for integrators and vendors working with Georgia’s Office of Artificial Intelligence and the Georgia Technology Authority’s Innovation Lab.
- Georgia AI Policy Council
Pooled monitoring, session briefings, and coalition testimony for growth-stage companies without in-house policy staff. Monthly membership.
Forecasting
We put a number on it.
Most government affairs advice is adjectival: likely, unlikely, difficult. Our forecasting practice replaces adjectives with probabilities. For each bill or rule that matters to a client we model passage and amendment likelihood from sponsor and committee history, vote patterns, calendar position, stakeholder alignment, and public sentiment, then update weekly through the session. Clients use the outputs to time investment decisions, brief boards, and choose which fights are worth the capital.
The same team builds predictive analytics and agentic AI systems for corporate clients, so the advice on AI regulation comes from people who deploy the technology, not only people who talk about it.
