Bill > SB4

This bill establishes comprehensive governance and regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) use in Kentucky state government, with a focus on ethical, transparent, and responsible implementation. The legislation creates an Artificial Intelligence Governance Committee within the Commonwealth Office of Technology to develop policy standards and guiding principles for AI systems, particularly generative and high-risk AI. Key provisions include requiring public disclosure when AI is used in decision-making, establishing a centralized registry of AI systems, prioritizing data privacy and protection, and mandating human oversight for consequential AI-driven decisions. The bill also addresses potential risks by requiring departments to document how AI systems will not discriminate, benefit citizens, and maintain data security. Additionally, the legislation introduces legal protections against synthetic media in electoral communications, allowing candidates to seek relief if their likeness is manipulated without consent and requiring clear disclosures when such media is used. The emergency declaration emphasizes the critical importance of responsible AI governance and protection against potential technological misuse, with the Act taking effect immediately upon passage.
