Limit government use of AI systems

This bill restricts how Montana state and local governments can use artificial intelligence systems by banning certain harmful applications and requiring transparency. It prohibits using AI for cognitive behavioral manipulation, discriminatory classification, deceptive purposes, or most public space surveillance, with exceptions for locating missing persons and existing facial surveillance programs. The law also mandates that any AI-generated public materials must be labeled as AI-produced and requires a trained human official to review and approve any AI decisions affecting individual rights or privileges. These provisions aim to establish clear boundaries and accountability measures for government AI use while allowing continued use in other contexts.
