HF 5051 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Disclosures when selling or distributing programs with artificial intelligence required.

This Minnesota bill requires businesses selling or distributing software with artificial intelligence to provide specific details to customers before the sale. The law mandates that sellers disclose the names of the AI creators, contact information for technical support, the functions the system performs, the modeling techniques used, and any safety features included. These requirements are designed to increase transparency for consumers purchasing AI technology under state consumer protection laws. The legislation defines artificial intelligence broadly as machine-based systems that can influence physical or virtual environments through their outputs.
