Constitutional amendment proposal excluding artificial intelligence from the right to free speech
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Minnesota that would explicitly exclude artificial intelligence from the state's free speech protections. If passed, it would modify Article I, Section 3 of the Minnesota Constitution to state that the right to freely speak, write, and publish sentiments does not apply to artificial intelligence systems. The amendment would be placed on the ballot for voter approval at the 2026 general election, where citizens would vote "Yes" or "No" on whether to add this exclusion to the state constitution.
