Oklahoma Advances State-Level AI Regulation with Three Key Bills
Oklahoma lawmakers are taking proactive steps to regulate artificial intelligence at the state level, introducing three bills aimed at curbing misuse. House Bill 3545 specifically targets deepfake creation, discriminatory AI systems, and biometric surveillance, while mandating human review for AI recommendations and annual reporting by state agencies.
The legislation also seeks to protect minors by banning "social AI companions" without age verification, though it carves out exceptions for therapeutic AI tools under professional oversight. This MOVE follows growing concerns over AI misuse, highlighted by recent controversies involving chatbots generating non-consensual intimate imagery.
