The bill establishes a new chapter in Title 67 of the Idaho Code, specifically Chapter 98, which focuses on the limitations of regulation concerning artificial intelligence (AI). It recognizes computation as a form of personal expression, equating AI inference models, training data, and algorithms to extensions of human thought and creativity, thus deserving the same protections as free speech. The legislation aims to foster innovation in AI by preventing excessive regulation that could hinder development, training, or use of AI technologies.

Under the new chapter, governmental entities are prohibited from enacting laws that would restrict the development, deployment, or consumer use of AI, including the regulation of AI systems' underlying algorithms or decision-making processes. Additionally, AI technologies are classified as general purpose technology for regulatory purposes. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
