20 A. As used in this act:
21 1. "Artificial intelligence" or "AI" means the ability of a

4 body has been digitally altered so that they appear to be someone
5 else, they appear to be saying something that they have never said,
6 or they appear to be doing something that they have never done. A
7 deepfake is typically used maliciously or to spread false
8 information;
9 3. "Generative AI" means AI that can generate text, images, or
10 other media in response to prompts; and
11 4. "State agency" means any department, commission, board,

10 for surveillance in public spaces, such as facial recognition,
11 except when used to locate a missing or abducted person; and

13 D. Use of AI by state agencies shall be allowed under the
14 following circumstances and with the following restrictions:
15 1. If an AI system produces a recommendation or a decision, and
16 this recommendation or decision once implemented or executed cannot
17 be reversed, then the recommendation or decision must be reviewed by
18 a human who is in an appropriate responsible position and is aware
19 of the limitations of the AI system before the recommendation or
