Bill > HB1167

This bill introduces new regulations for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in political communications and advertising in North Dakota. Specifically, any political content that uses AI to visually or audibly impersonate a human must prominently display the disclaimer: "THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE." The bill defines AI as a machine-based system capable of creating digital content based on human-defined objectives or data patterns, but explicitly excludes basic tools for text generation, grammar correction, spelling checks, and stylistic editing. The legislation applies to various forms of political communication, including content supporting or opposing candidates, political committees, political parties, and initiated or referred measures. The bill provides an exception for AI tools that do not create new impersonations of human likeness or voice, ensuring that standard writing assistance tools are not affected by these disclosure requirements. This measure aims to increase transparency and help voters identify when AI technology is being used to create political content that mimics human characteristics.
