This bill is a joint resolution from the Senate and House of Representatives of Montana, requesting an interim study on the implications and regulations surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). The resolution highlights the growing significance of AI technology and the need for Montana to examine existing laws and regulations from other states and the federal government that could inform the state's approach to AI. The study aims to explore various aspects, including the development of an AI code of ethics for state agencies, an AI bill of rights for citizens, transparency and liability requirements for AI developers, and the overall benefits and risks of AI to state agencies and residents.

The resolution mandates that the Legislative Council designate an appropriate interim committee or allocate staff resources to conduct the study, with all findings and conclusions to be presented to a designated committee before September 15, 2026. The final results, including any recommendations, are to be reported to the 70th Legislature. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to understanding and regulating AI in Montana, ensuring that the state is prepared to address the challenges and opportunities presented by this evolving technology.
