What it requires
- If you are a public utility in Nevada, do not make a final decision on whether to reduce or shut down utility service in response to a disaster or emergency based solely on the use of artificial intelligence.
- If you prepare or adopt a state emergency management plan or an agency's emergency operations plan, include provisions ensuring that final decisions on emergency response planning and on allocating resources in an emergency are made by a natural person rather than by artificial intelligence.

What this law does
A public utility may not make a final decision on whether to reduce or shut down utility service in response to a disaster or emergency based solely on the use of artificial intelligence. Every state emergency management plan, and every local or state agency's emergency operations plan, must include provisions ensuring that final decisions on emergency response planning and on allocating resources in an emergency are made by a natural person rather than by artificial intelligence.
For both duties, artificial intelligence means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.
