Bill > SF1886

This bill establishes new consumer protection requirements for interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) in Minnesota. The bill defines AI as a machine-based system that can generate outputs, including content, decisions, predictions, or recommendations that can influence environments. It creates several key provisions: first, businesses must disclose when an individual is communicating with AI during a textual or spoken conversation; second, it prohibits deceptive practices where businesses mislead consumers into thinking they are communicating with a human when they are actually interacting with AI; third, businesses must provide an option for individuals to communicate with a human instead of a computer. The bill allows individuals who are harmed by violations to file civil lawsuits seeking damages up to $1,000, injunctive relief, and attorney fees. Additionally, the Minnesota Attorney General can enforce the law and impose civil penalties up to $5,000,000 for violations. This legislation aims to increase transparency and protect consumers from potentially misleading AI interactions in business settings.
