Bill > SB177

This bill has several key provisions: 1. It requires disclosure of "deepfakes" (realistic but false images, audio, or videos created using AI) in campaign communications, with penalties for failing to do so. 2. It mandates that state agencies inventory and conduct impact assessments of their use of "generative AI" (AI systems that can produce new content) for consequential decisions affecting individuals, and establishes regulations around the use of such AI. 3. It prohibits state agencies from using AI systems for certain purposes like biometric identification, emotion recognition, and social scoring, and sets requirements for data sharing and security. 4. It creates civil liability for individuals harmed by violations of the bill's provisions or the misuse of AI by state agencies. Overall, the bill aims to increase transparency, oversight, and accountability around the use of AI, particularly in the contexts of elections and state government decision-making that impacts individuals.
