HB 1535 establishes Mississippi's Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AIR) Task Force to study AI's impact on state operations and develop policy recommendations. The task force, composed of state officials and sector experts (including IT, homeland security, healthcare, and private industry representatives), must annually evaluate AI risks, government use, and ethical frameworks by December 1. Key provisions require the group to review other states' AI policies, assess privacy and bias concerns, and propose funding strategies for responsible AI adoption across state agencies. This bill directly affects Mississippi state government departments and agencies using AI tools, aiming to balance innovation with public safety through structured oversight.

It will evaluate AI use in state government, review privacy and bias concerns, assess economic impacts, and recommend regulatory approaches. The bill directly affects state agencies adopting AI tools and shapes future policy by requiring structured analysis of AI applications before potential regulation.
