House Bill No. by Representative Bayham introduces a new provision, R.S. 14:73.15, which makes it unlawful to make telephone calls or automated calls created using artificial intelligence without a clear disclosure at the beginning of the call indicating that it was generated by artificial intelligence. This legislation aims to ensure transparency in communications that utilize AI technology, thereby protecting consumers from potential deception.

The bill establishes penalties for violations, including a fine of up to $750 or imprisonment for a maximum of six months, or both. It also aligns with the existing definition of "artificial intelligence" as provided in R.S. 14:73.14, ensuring consistency in the legal framework surrounding the use of AI in telephone communications.
