Use of generative artificial intelligence in official records prohibited, and civil remedies and enforcement provided.
This bill prohibits Minnesota government entities from using generative artificial intelligence to create or draft official records, such as documents that record official actions, policies, or decisions. It applies to all government agencies and defines official records broadly to include any recorded information created, received, or maintained by these entities. The law requires that any AI-generated drafts of official records be kept for as long as the final records are retained, and it allows the Attorney General to enforce the ban through existing legal mechanisms. Additionally, individuals can file civil lawsuits against government entities that violate the ban, though they must provide 90 days written notice before filing suit to give the agency a chance to correct the violation.
