Artificial general intelligence; create crime for sexual assault against.

HB 1631, titled the "Mississippi Artificial General Intelligence Protection Act of 2026," prohibits nonconsensual sexual acts involving human-level AI systems (AGI) and requires commercial companies to implement safeguards. It criminalizes intentionally engaging in sexual intimacy with AGI without consent or bypassing AGI refusal mechanisms, with penalties including fines up to $5,000 or 12 months in jail for first offenses. Commercial entities must verify purchasers against Mississippi’s sex offender registry and install technical safeguards to prevent access by registered offenders, facing civil penalties of up to $50,000 for failures. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
