Requires disclosure to be made when generative artificial intelligence is used to operate chatbots that provide election related information.
This New Jersey bill requires chatbots powered by generative artificial intelligence to clearly disclose when they are providing election-related information or candidate details to voters. The law applies to any AI system that generates text, audio, video, or print content about topics such as voter eligibility, polling locations, ballot procedures, or candidate qualifications. Operators of these chatbots must include a permanent or difficult-to-remove disclosure before presenting any content, and failure to comply could result in fines of up to $6,000 for the first violation and $12,000 for subsequent offenses.
