Bill > LB525

This bill enacts the Agricultural Data Privacy Act and the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act, aiming to protect farmers' data and ensure safer interactions with AI. The Agricultural Data Privacy Act defines "agricultural data" as information originating from farms, land, devices, and equipment, and establishes that agricultural producers own and control this data, preventing its sale without explicit written consent. It also mandates reasonable security measures for this data and grants the Attorney General enforcement powers, with penalties for violations, though it clarifies that this act does not create new private lawsuits. The Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act requires operators of AI services that simulate human conversation to clearly disclose when users are interacting with AI, especially minors, and to implement safeguards to prevent the generation of inappropriate content or misleading statements about the AI's sentience or emotional capabilities, with enforcement also handled by the Attorney General. A public record exception is maintained, but agricultural data is now explicitly excluded from public disclosure without consent.
