Bill > HB0091

This bill prohibits government entities in Wyoming from using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to create or assign "social scores," which are defined as evaluations or classifications of individuals or groups based on their social behavior or personal characteristics that could lead to unfair treatment or infringe on constitutional rights. It also bans government entities from using AI to identify individuals through biometric data, which includes unique biological measurements like fingerprints or voiceprints, or from automatically collecting large amounts of images or other media from public sources without consent, if such uses would violate constitutional or legal rights. The bill provides exceptions for certain health-related data and clarifies that "governmental entity" includes state agencies and local governments but excludes the University of Wyoming and community college districts. This legislation aims to prevent the misuse of AI by the government for surveillance and social control, with an effective date of July 1, 2026.
