What it requires

  • State the disclaimer "THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" prominently on any political communication or advertisement that uses AI-created images, graphics, video, audio, or text to visually or audibly impersonate a human.
  • This duty applies only to content made for a political purpose: support of or opposition to a candidate, political committee, or party, or promoting passage or defeat of an initiated or referred measure.
  • No disclaimer is required for content that only uses AI for text generation, grammar correction, spelling checks, or stylistic editing without creating a new impersonation of a human's likeness or voice.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Any action taken for a political purpose, including communication or advertising in support of or opposition to a candidate, political committee, or political party, or for promoting passage or defeat of an initiated or referred measure, that contains images, graphics, video, audio, text, or other digital content created in whole or in part with artificial intelligence to visually or audibly impersonate a human, must prominently state the disclaimer 'THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.'

The duty does not apply to content that solely uses artificial intelligence for text generation, grammar correction, spelling checks, stylistic editing, or otherwise enhancing existing content without creating a new impersonation of a human's likeness or voice.

Artificial intelligence is defined as a machine-based system capable of creating images, graphics, video, audio, text, or other digital content based on human-defined objectives or data patterns, excluding systems explicitly programmed only to assist with grammar, spelling, or word suggestions.

House Bill 1167 passed both chambers without a dissenting vote and was filed with the secretary of state , without an emergency clause, so it took effect under North Dakota's default effective-date rule for legislation filed before that date.
