Bill > HJ4

This joint resolution requests the Legislative Council to designate an interim committee or allocate staff resources to conduct a comprehensive study of artificial intelligence (AI) in Montana. The study aims to examine existing AI regulations at the state, federal, and international levels, research potential AI ethics codes and a citizen's AI bill of rights, investigate transparency and liability requirements for AI systems, and assess the broader impacts of AI on Montana residents. Specifically, the study will explore how AI might affect employment, constitutional rights, privacy, and economic welfare. The resolution requires that all study aspects be completed by September 15, 2026, and that the final results, including findings, conclusions, and recommendations, be reported to the 70th Legislature. If the study is assigned to staff, the findings must be presented to and reviewed by an appropriate committee designated by the Legislative Council, reflecting a thorough and structured approach to understanding the complex implications of artificial intelligence technology.
