OK HB3453: Artificial intelligence; definitions; establishing the rights of Oklahomans when interacting with artificial intelligence; effective date.

In one paragraph

Oklahoma's HB 3453 (2024), as engrossed, would define artificial intelligence and declare that Oklahomans have rights when dealing with it: to know when they interact with AI in consequential exchanges or consume realistic content generated entirely by AI without human review, to rely on watermarks and content credentials, to consent to AI recreations of their voice or likeness, and to be free from algorithmic discrimination. It passed the House 89-0 on March 14, 2024 and was referred to Senate Judiciary March 27, 2024; it died when the 2024 session ended without Senate passage.
