relative to the use of artificial intelligence by state agencies.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new chapter in state law to regulate how government agencies use artificial intelligence, defining specific terms like generative AI and deepfakes. It prohibits the use of AI for manipulating individuals, classifying people in ways that could lead to discrimination, conducting public surveillance with facial recognition, or creating deceptive deepfakes. While the law allows for certain AI applications, it requires human review for irreversible decisions affecting rights or law enforcement actions and mandates that users be informed when interacting with AI systems. State agencies must audit their current systems within nine months to ensure compliance and remove any prohibited tools, while also submitting annual reports to the governor and legislative leaders.
