AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for dynamically setting product prices in Minnesota. The bill defines AI as a machine-based system that can infer how to generate outputs, including decisions and recommendations, based on its inputs. Specifically, the legislation would make it illegal for businesses to use AI to automatically adjust product prices in real-time based on factors such as market demand, competitor pricing, inventory levels, or customer behavior. If a business violates this prohibition, the state's attorney general would have the authority to enforce the law under existing enforcement provisions. The bill aims to protect consumers from potentially unpredictable or discriminatory pricing practices that could be enabled by advanced AI technologies, though it does not provide specific details about the penalties for non-compliance.
