This bill introduces new regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by state agencies, prohibiting certain applications and providing guidelines for acceptable uses. It defines AI, generative AI, deepfakes, and state agencies, and applies to all computer systems operated by state agencies, with exceptions for research by state-funded institutions of higher learning and common personal consumer systems like smartphone facial recognition. The bill specifically prohibits AI from being used by state agencies to unlawfully discriminate against individuals or groups, for real-time and remote biometric identification systems in public spaces without a warrant, and for creating deepfakes for deceptive or malicious purposes.

Permitted uses of AI by state agencies include situations where AI-generated recommendations or decisions are reviewed by a human before implementation, particularly in cases affecting individual rights, biometric identification, critical infrastructure management, law enforcement actions, and legal interpretations, including sentencing. Any content generated by AI must be disclosed as such, and users must be informed when they are interacting with AI systems. State agencies are required to review and ensure compliance with these regulations within 9 months of the bill's effective date and report to the Department of Information Technology. The bill also mandates annual reporting on AI systems and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024. No specific insertions or deletions from current law are mentioned in the provided text.
