Bill > LB642

This bill adopts the Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protection Act, which establishes comprehensive regulations for high-risk artificial intelligence (AI) systems in Nebraska. The bill defines key terms like "algorithmic discrimination" and "high-risk AI system," and sets requirements for both developers and deployers of such systems. Starting February 1, 2026, developers must use reasonable care to protect consumers from known risks of algorithmic discrimination, provide detailed documentation about their AI systems, and disclose potential risks. Deployers must implement risk management policies, complete impact assessments, and notify consumers when AI systems are being used to make consequential decisions affecting them. The bill requires transparency measures, such as explaining how AI systems contribute to decisions, providing opportunities to correct personal data, and allowing appeals for adverse decisions. The Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority, with a process that includes issuing notices of violation and allowing time to cure issues. Notably, the bill does not create a private right of action, meaning only the Attorney General can bring enforcement actions. The legislation includes numerous exemptions for specific types of AI systems and organizations, such as those related to federal agencies, health care, banking, and scientific research. The overall goal is to mitigate potential discriminatory impacts of AI technologies while supporting responsible innovation.
