Sponsors are pushing for city‑level policies that would impose a heavy regulatory burden on AI companies. The proposed measures aim to create a complex web of local rules that could slow innovation and increase compliance costs for firms operating in the sector.

The strategy reflects a broader effort to tighten oversight of artificial intelligence at the grassroots level.
