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 prohibits government entities from using AI for specific purposes. These prohibited uses include cognitive behavioral manipulation, unlawful discrimination, malicious purposes, and general surveillance of public spaces, with limited exceptions for locating missing persons or in accordance with existing laws on 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 affecting individuals' rights or privileges 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 sections will still be enforceable.
