No comprehensive private-sector AI law — state-government AI governance under SB 818 (AI Governance Act of 2024) — **Status: No Law**

Maryland has not enacted a comprehensive private-sector AI law. The Artificial Intelligence Governance Act of 2024 (SB 818) directs the Department of Information Technology to set policies for and inventory AI used by state-government units, but imposes no direct private-sector compliance duty. Existing anti-discrimination and consumer-protection laws may apply to AI-driven decisions.
