Bill > HB1535

This bill establishes the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AIR) Task Force in Mississippi to comprehensively study and guide the responsible development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The task force will consist of seven voting members, including legislative representatives, state agency leaders, and the option to appoint up to ten additional expert ex-officio members from fields like education, healthcare, technology, and business. The task force's primary responsibilities include serving as a "regulatory sandbox" to balance innovation with public interest, review existing AI laws and policies, evaluate potential regulations, assess AI's societal and economic impacts, and consider AI implementation across government agencies. The group will focus on critical areas such as privacy, ethical standards, risk assessment, bias mitigation, and potential funding strategies for AI development. Members will receive per diem compensation and can seek additional funding through grants and gifts. The task force is required to submit annual reports to the Legislature by December 1st each year and is authorized to operate until December 31, 2027. Notably, the bill emphasizes that AI should complement, not replace, human creativity and decision-making, and should be developed with careful consideration of potential risks, ethical implications, and societal benefits.
