Overview: Bill Number: LC 2684, Title: Generally revise laws relating to AI, Status: (LC) Draft Died in Process, Introduced: December 11, 2024
Purpose and Intent: The purpose of this bill was to establish a framework for the regulation and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in Montana. The proposed legislation aimed to address concerns about the responsible development and use of AI, including issues related to privacy, transparency, and accountability.
Key Provisions:
- Require state agencies to develop policies and procedures for the use of AI systems, including impact assessments and public reporting
- Establish an AI oversight board to provide guidance and recommendations on the ethical and responsible use of AI
- Mandate that AI systems used by the state government must be transparent and explainable, with mechanisms for individuals to challenge decisions made by AI
- Prohibit the use of certain AI-powered surveillance technologies, such as facial recognition, without explicit legislative authorization
Affected Parties and Impacts: The proposed legislation would have primarily affected state government agencies and departments that utilize or develop AI technologies. It could also have had implications for private sector companies and organizations operating in Montana that use AI systems. The bill aimed to protect the rights and privacy of Montana residents in the face of increasing AI adoption.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: This bill was introduced in the 2024 legislative session but did not advance beyond the draft stage and died in the legislative process.
