Bill > SB2

This bill introduces comprehensive regulations addressing artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and data transfers in Alaska, focusing on three main areas. First, it mandates disclosure requirements for election-related deepfakes, requiring any communication containing an AI-generated or manipulated video, audio, or image of a candidate to include a clear statement that the content has been artificially created, with specific visibility and disclosure rules depending on the communication's format. Second, the bill establishes stringent guidelines for state agencies' use of AI, requiring biennial inventories and impact assessments of AI systems used for consequential decisions, with provisions that mandate individual consent, notification, appeal processes, and prohibitions on using AI for biometric identification, emotion recognition, and social scoring. Lastly, the bill restricts data transfers between state agencies, requiring notice to individuals before sharing their personal information, and creates a mechanism for individuals to seek civil damages if they suffer harm from improper AI usage. The legislation includes detailed definitions of terms like "generative AI," "consequential decisions," and "sensitive personal data," and provides exemptions for certain public safety investigations. The overall goal is to promote transparency, protect individual privacy, and ensure responsible AI implementation in government operations.
