This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically targeting the right to free speech as outlined in article I, section 3. The amendment seeks to clarify that while individuals retain the liberty to speak, write, and publish their sentiments, this right will explicitly not extend to artificial intelligence. The proposed language will ensure that artificial intelligence is excluded from the protections granted under the right to free speech.

Additionally, the bill mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election. The ballot question will ask whether the Minnesota Constitution should be amended to state that artificial intelligence does not possess the right to free speech. This initiative reflects a growing concern regarding the role of artificial intelligence in public discourse and aims to delineate the boundaries of free speech in the context of emerging technologies.
