What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
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 April 11, 2025, without an emergency clause, so it took effect August 1, 2025 under North Dakota's default effective-date rule for legislation filed before that date.
