S 1067 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – Adds to existing law to establish limitations on regulation of artificial intelligence.

Idaho's S 1067 prohibits state and local governments from regulating artificial intelligence development, training, or use - including commercial deployment and consumer applications. The bill defines AI as an extension of human expression protected under free speech and classifies it as a "general purpose technology," blocking new rules that constrain how AI systems work or are developed. It specifically bans governmental entities from regulating AI algorithms, decision-making processes, or research, aiming to prevent "excessive regulation" to foster innovation. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all Idaho state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts.
