Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to free speech; proposing an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, article I, section 3; excluding artificial intelligence from the right to free speech.
AI Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 3, which currently guarantees the right to free speech for all persons. The proposed change would explicitly exclude artificial intelligence (AI) from this constitutional protection, meaning that AI would not be considered to have the right to freely speak, write, or publish its sentiments on any subject, even though individuals remain responsible for any misuse of their speech rights. If approved by the legislature, this amendment would then be put to a vote of the people at the 2026 general election, where voters would be asked whether they approve of amending the constitution to state that artificial intelligence does not possess free speech rights.
