South CarolinaAI regulation

Regulation Status

• South Carolina has not enacted a comprehensive or generative-AI statute; its enacted AI regulation is a narrow, sector-specific provision embedded in the 2024 revisions to the Real Estate Practice Act. Section 40-57-820 of the South Carolina Code makes licensed real estate professionals responsible for any and all work product produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar programs.
• The provision treats a violation of the chapter committed through such tools as if the licensee committed it directly. Enforcement runs through the existing Real Estate Commission disciplinary regime, including disciplinary actions and penalties.
