This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 16.1-10 of the North Dakota Century Code that mandates disclosure statements for content generated using artificial intelligence (AI) in political contexts. Specifically, any political communication or advertising that utilizes AI to create content that impersonates a human must include a disclaimer stating, "THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE." The bill aims to ensure transparency in political messaging by clearly indicating when AI technology has been used to produce content that could mislead voters.

Additionally, the bill outlines exceptions to this requirement, clarifying that content generated solely for text generation, grammar correction, or stylistic editing, which does not create a new impersonation of human likeness or voice, is not subject to the disclosure requirement. The bill also provides a definition of "artificial intelligence," distinguishing it from simpler systems that assist with language tasks without generating human-like content. This legislation seeks to address the growing concerns about the use of AI in political discourse and its potential impact on voter perception and decision-making.
