Bill > HB1857

This bill, known as the Artificial Intelligence Transparency in Services Act, aims to regulate how businesses use artificial intelligence (AI) in consumer interactions. The bill defines AI broadly as a machine-based system that can make predictions, recommendations, or decisions by perceiving and analyzing environments, and includes generative AI technologies that can create synthetic content like text or images. Business entities would be required to disclose their use of AI at the beginning of any consumer interaction, using clear and accessible language that can be understood by people with disabilities or limited English proficiency. For high-impact decisions that significantly affect an individual's rights, employment, housing, credit, education, healthcare, or access to government benefits, consumers would have the right to request a human review. Businesses must initiate such reviews within 14 days of the request and complete them within 28 days. The Attorney General would be empowered to enforce the law through civil actions, with potential penalties of up to $2,500 per violation. The bill would take effect six months after its passage, giving businesses time to adapt to the new requirements and ensure transparency in their AI-driven interactions with consumers.
