A bill for an act relating to artificial intelligence, including the use of artificial intelligence to create materials related to elections and protections in interactions with artificial intelligence systems, and making penalties applicable.
This bill requires AI-generated election materials (like ads or content advocating for candidates or ballot issues) to include a clear disclosure stating "this material was generated using artificial intelligence." It defines "high-risk AI systems" as those making consequential decisions (e.g., hiring, loans, healthcare access) and prohibits algorithmic discrimination - unfair treatment based on protected characteristics like race or gender. Developers must provide deployers with detailed documentation about AI training data, limitations, bias mitigation, and intended uses. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in AI systems used for significant decisions while allowing exemptions for certain technologies like spam filters or basic calculators.
