This bill introduces new regulations regarding the disclosure of election-related deepfakes and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by state agencies in Alaska. It establishes a requirement that any election-related communication containing a deepfake must include a clear disclosure statement indicating that the content has been manipulated or generated by AI. The bill outlines specific guidelines for how this disclosure should be presented in various formats, including print, video, and audio. Additionally, it imposes liability on individuals who fail to include this disclosure or remove it from such communications, allowing candidates or proposition groups to seek damages or injunctive relief.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that state agencies conduct biennial inventories of AI systems used for consequential decisions, including impact assessments that evaluate efficacy, human oversight, and potential risks. It sets forth requirements for notifying individuals affected by AI decisions, obtaining consent for sensitive data collection, and ensuring an appeals process with human review. The bill prohibits the use of AI systems for certain applications, such as biometric identification and social scoring, and restricts data transfers between state agencies without individual notice. It also outlines civil liability for individuals harmed by violations of these provisions, while providing exemptions for specific law enforcement activities.
