Where Lamb stands

Artificial intelligence regulation

Says AI needs government oversight and is concerned that AI models may become too powerful while President Trump and Congress are not seriously considering regulation. Says he would study what state AI legislation may be needed.

AI in law enforcement and the AG's office

Proposes assigning an assistant attorney general to become an expert on AI. Says AI will not replace human judgment in law. Called the Fargo-area facial recognition wrongful jailing a case where police were 'asleep at the wheel.'

Surveillance cameras (Flock)

Says Flock cameras should be limited to specific purposes, such as watching large crowds at football games or athletic venues, and not necessarily used for everyday activity on street corners.

Social media and child safety

Has said the attorney general's office should have done more to get North Dakota a larger share of the 47-state Meta child safety settlement.

Consumer protection

Says he would make consumer protection against AI fraud a priority and would work with other state attorneys general on AI oversight.
