Jennifer Davenport is the Attorney General of New Jersey. In AI policy she appears as a co-leader of a multistate call for federal frontier AI regulation and in connection with New Jersey's law on algorithmic rent-setting.
Federal frontier AI regulation
Davenport and New York Attorney General Letitia James head the signature block of a letter dated September 23, 2026 from the attorneys general of 24 states, the District of Columbia and American Samoa to the four congressional leaders; the letter is printed on New York and New Jersey letterhead. It asks Congress "to immediately establish comprehensive federal regulation and safety protocols for frontier artificial intelligence," listing mandatory federal oversight of safety testing, government-led incident response, safety leadership "unburdened by profit maximization," international cooperation "to pace AI advancement and prevent the development of harmful superintelligence," competition safeguards, and "explicit preservation of state authority by prohibiting the preemption of state laws" (Letter from state attorneys general to congressional leadership urging federal frontier AI regulation (September 2026)). See AI Federalism.
Algorithmic pricing
When New Jersey enacted its law barring rent-setting software from pooling nonpublic pricing data, Davenport tied it to the state's ongoing algorithmic-collusion litigation (Source: nj.gov). See New Jersey FAIR Act (rent-pricing algorithms).
