The proposed bill aims to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems by state and local government entities in Montana. It defines key terms related to AI, including "artificial intelligence system" and "cognitive behavioral manipulation," and establishes clear prohibitions on certain uses of AI. Specifically, government entities are barred from using AI for cognitive behavioral manipulation, unlawful discrimination, malicious purposes, or surveillance of public spaces, with limited exceptions for locating missing persons or in compliance with existing laws regarding facial surveillance.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any material produced by AI that is not reviewed by a qualified human must include a disclosure indicating its AI origin. It also requires that any AI-generated recommendations or decisions impacting individual rights must be reviewed and can be modified or rejected by a qualified human. The bill includes provisions for severability, ensuring that if any part is deemed invalid, the remaining valid sections will still be enforceable.
