This bill sets rules for how Kentucky state government can use artificial intelligence, requiring ethical standards, employee training, and public disclosure whenever AI is used. It also addresses AI-generated fake images or audio in political ads, allowing people to sue if such content is used in campaign communications without a clear disclosure label. Because it is an emergency bill, these rules take effect immediately upon signing. Who it may affect: state government employees, Kentucky voters, political candidates, and businesses or individuals whose personal data is held by state agencies.
