Georgia AI bills
RSS feed for GeorgiaOnline Internet Safety; certain disclosures related to conversational AI services; require
Georgia's AI companion chatbot law (Act 518, effective July 1, 2027). Operators must clearly disclose that users are talking to an AI, at the start and at least every three hours (hourly for minors or minor-directed bots). For known minors they must take reasonable measures to block sexual content, romantic role-play, encouraging secrecy or isolation, and manipulative engagement tactics. Every operator needs a self-harm crisis protocol with referrals such as 988, published in summary with yearly referral counts, plus parental tools and age assurance before any sexually explicit feature. The Attorney General enforces it, with penalties up to $10,000 per knowing violation.
Private Review Agents; certain decisions with regard to the provision of insurance coverage for healthcare services shall not be based solel…
Georgia Act 411, effective January 1, 2027, adds O.C.G.A. 33-46-7.1 for health insurance utilization review. Private review agents and utilization review entities may use AI and other software tools as part of a utilization review plan that meets state standards and Insurance Commissioner rules, including to automate tasks and take part in decisions. But no adverse determination may be issued to a patient until a natural person qualified as a private review agent or utilization review entity conducts a review in which a clinical peer participates, and AI may never supersede that clinical peer's judgment.
Georgia Entertainment Artificial Intelligence Accountability and Performer Protection Act; enact
Georgia's HB 1603, the Georgia Entertainment Artificial Intelligence Accountability and Performer Protection Act, would add Article 38 to Title 10, Chapter 1. It would make an individual or production company liable in a civil action for publishing or distributing a digital replica of a performer without consent, or for distributing a product primarily designed to produce such replicas. Consent would need a written contract of no more than ten years while the performer is living. The bill reached House Second Readers on March 31, 2026 and died when the session ended.
Senate Study Committee on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence; create
Georgia's SR 789 is a Senate resolution, adopted 48-0 on March 31, 2026. As adopted, it creates the Senate Study Committee on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Creative Industries: five senators named by the President of the Senate, with majority- and minority-party cochairs, to study AI's impact on creative writers, filmmakers and television, including concerns about AI replacing human artistry, job losses and undisclosed AI use, and to recommend action or legislation. The committee stands abolished December 1, 2026. As a resolution of one chamber, it does not change the law.
Crimes and offenses; obscenity; repeal and replace Code Section 16-12-80
Not law. HB 171 passed the Georgia House 160-0 in February 2025. Its final Senate Rules Committee substitute (March 27, 2026), the Ensuring Accountability for Illegal AI Activities Act, would have made it a felony (1 to 15 years) to knowingly create, distribute, solicit or possess for distribution AI-generated visual material harmful to minors, even if no real child is shown. It would also have added longer sentences when a defendant knowingly used AI to commit offenses such as stalking, elder exploitation, child enticement, theft, fraud or election interference. It never got a Senate floor vote before the 2025-2026 session ended.
Georgia Technology Authority; annual inventory of artificial intelligence usage by state agencies; provide
Georgia's HB 147 passed the House on February 20, 2025 and the Senate committee reported a substitute on March 18, 2026, but the Senate never passed it and it died when the session ended. The substitute would have required the Georgia Technology Authority to inventory AI systems used to inform or materially support agency decisions by December 31, 2026 and annually, adopt AI policies by December 31, 2027, and report to officials; it also would bar governmental software license terms limiting where software can be run.
"Fair Business Practices Act of 1975"; any person from facilitating noncompete agreements between residential rental property owners or mana…
Georgia's SB 559 would add Code section 10-1-393.22 to the Fair Business Practices Act of 1975. It would make it an unlawful, unfair and deceptive trade practice to knowingly or with reckless disregard facilitate an agreement among residential rental property owners or managers not to compete, including by operating or licensing software or an algorithmic device that performs a defined 'coordinating function.' The bill was read and referred in the Senate on February 25, 2026 and died when the session ended; it never became law.
NO FAKES Act of 2025; enact
Georgia's HB 566 (NO FAKES Act) would add a new Article 38 to Title 10, Chapter 1, giving each individual or right holder the right to authorize use of the individual's voice or visual likeness in a digital replica. The right would be a property right, not assignable during life, licensable, and would not expire at death.

State government; require state agencies to provide a notice to employees when using artificial intelligence in personnel matters
Georgia's HB 1351 would add Code section 50-1-15 requiring a governmental agency that uses AI, or contracts with a third party to use it, in hiring to state in the job description that AI may be used to evaluate applications. If AI is used to evaluate an employee's performance in a way that leads to termination, the agency would have to provide a disclaimer documenting all decision pathways, including human review. The bill reached House Second Readers on February 19, 2026 and died when the session ended.
Georgia Artificial Intelligence Commission; establishment
Georgia's SB 455 would create the Georgia Artificial Intelligence Commission, assigned to the Georgia Technology Authority for administrative purposes only. It would recommend legislative and executive actions on AI systems, develop guidelines for state agencies' AI use, inventory AI systems used in state agencies and identify high-risk areas. It would have 16 members appointed by the Governor by January 1, 2027. The bill was read and referred on February 4, 2026 and died when the session ended.
House Study Committee on Exploring the Potential for Humanoids and Robotics in Georgia Workforce Development; create
Georgia's HR 815 is a House resolution that would create the House Study Committee on Exploring the Potential for Humanoids and Robotics in Georgia Workforce Development, with five House members appointed by the Speaker, to study whether and how humanoids and robotics can enhance economic development and recommend any action or legislation. The committee would be abolished on December 1, 2025. The resolution was reported favorably on March 31, 2025, then withdrawn and recommitted on April 4, 2025, and was never adopted.

The committee stood abolished December 1, 2025. As a resolution of one chamber, it does not change the law.
Fair and Future Ready Housing Act; enact
Georgia's HB 715, the Fair and Future Ready Housing Act, would add Code section 8-3-224 to the fair housing law. Discriminatory housing practices resulting from AI or automated decision tools would be prohibited, reliance on such tools would not be a defense, and no person could use them to make sale, rental or financing determinations without individual review or without disclosing their use. After notice and hearing, the Attorney General could impose a penalty of up to $10,000 for violating subsection (c) or (d). The bill reached House Second Readers on March 6, 2025 and died when the session ended.

Georgia's HB 478 would add Code section 10-1-393.20 to the Fair Business Practices Act. On or after July 1, 2025, any individual disseminating AI-generated video, audio or still images to facilitate commerce or trade would have to ensure the content discloses that artificial intelligence made all or part of it, in a specified readable or audible form, and omitting the disclosure would be unlawful, each item being a separate violation. The bill reached House Second Readers on February 20, 2025 and died when the session ended.
Trade Practices; surveillance based price discrimination and surveillance based wage discrimination; prohibit
Georgia's SB 164 would add Article 37 to Title 10, Chapter 1, prohibiting 'surveillance based price discrimination' and 'surveillance based wage discrimination', meaning use of an automated decision system to set individualized prices or wages based on surveillance data about a consumer or worker.

Developers could not make available a system that results in algorithmic discrimination and would have to provide information to the Attorney General. According to its title, deployers would also have duties, and the Attorney General would enforce. The bill was read and referred on February 13, 2025 and died when the session ended.
"AI Accountability Act"; enact
Georgia's SB 37, the "AI Accountability Act" (as introduced, LC 59 0049), would require every governmental entity (including departments, agencies, counties, municipalities and school systems) to publish on a public website by December 31, 2026, and then maintain, an artificial intelligence system usage plan. It would also create a 12-member Georgia Board for Artificial Intelligence to publish model plans. Introduced January 2025 and read and referred January 28, 2025; it did not pass either house and died when the 2025-2026 session ended.
Crimes and offenses; grooming a minor for indecent purposes; provide for offense
Georgia's HB 993 closes a defense for digitally altered child sexual abuse images. A new subsection (b.2) of O.C.G.A. 16-12-100, the sexual exploitation of children law, says it is not a defense that a visual medium was created, adapted or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct. That covers creating, distributing, possessing or bringing such material into Georgia, so edited, morphed or AI-made images of a real, identifiable child are treated like other child sexual abuse material. The act also creates a separate felony of grooming a minor (16-12-100.5), which is not AI-specific.
Georgia Technology Authority; annual inventory of artificial intelligence usage by state agencies; provide
Georgia's HB 988 (2023-2024 session) passed the House on February 16, 2024 and was reported favorably in the Senate by substitute on March 20, 2024, but was never passed by the Senate and died when the session ended. The Senate committee substitute would have added a Homeland Security approved-list system for unmanned aircraft and, in a revised Code section 50-25-7.9, required the Georgia Technology Authority to inventory AI systems in use by agencies by December 31, 2024 and annually.
Elections; criminal offense of election interference with a deep fake and solicitation; establish
Georgia's SB 392 (2023-2024 session) would have created the offense of election interference with a deep fake: creating, publishing, broadcasting, streaming or uploading a deep fake within 90 days of an election with intent to deceive electors in order to reduce a candidate's chance of being elected or otherwise influence an election or referendum. A deep fake created by or at the request of a candidate depicting that same candidate would be excluded. The bill was read and referred in the Senate on January 25, 2024, went no further, and died when the 2023-2024 session ended.
Insurance; use of artificial intelligence in making certain decisions regarding coverage; prohibit
Georgia's HB 887 (2023-2024 session) would have barred coverage determinations, healthcare actions and public-assistance decisions based solely on the results of AI or automated decision tools, and required that such decisions be meaningfully reviewed by an individual with authority to override the tool. It would also have required the Georgia Composite Medical Board to adopt rules, including for disciplining physicians who do not comply. The bill reached House Second Readers on January 11, 2024 and died when the 2023-2024 session ended.
Health; restrictions on sale and dispensing of contact lenses with respect to physicians; revise provisions
HB 203 (Act 233 of 2023) regulates automated and AI tools for remote eye assessments. It defines an 'assessment mechanism' as automated or virtual equipment, applications or technology used in person or via telemedicine to conduct an eye assessment, including artificial intelligence devices. Such mechanisms must follow the Georgia Telehealth Act, collect the patient's history, meet ADA and HIPAA requirements and use a recognized CPT procedure. Prescribers using them must meet in-person standards of care, may not use the assessment data as the sole basis for a prescription, may serve only patients aged 21 to 50, and cannot use them for an initial prescription or its first renewal.
Motor vehicles; use of personal delivery devices to transport cargo; authorize
Georgia's HB 1009 (Act 814 of 2022) authorizes delivery robots. A personal delivery device is a powered vehicle that uses an automated driving system to transport cargo, carries no passengers and weighs at most 500 pounds empty or 600 pounds loaded. Devices may operate on sidewalks and on highways with lower speed limits, must yield to pedestrians, meet equipment rules and may not carry hazardous materials. An individual able to control navigation and operation must monitor each device while it operates, and operators need at least $250,000 of liability insurance. Local governments may limit operations, and violations carry civil penalties.
An Act to amend Part 3 of Article 3 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to invasion of privacy, so…
Georgia's SB 78 toughens the law against sharing nude or sexually explicit images of an adult without consent, including falsely created videos or still images such as deepfakes. Under the revised O.C.G.A. 16-11-90, posting such an image to harass the person or cause them financial loss is a felony (1 to 5 years, up to $100,000) when it is sent to a website that advertises or promotes sexually explicit content. Sharing by other electronic means stays a high and aggravated misdemeanor for a first offense and becomes a felony for repeat offenses. The law keeps the exemption for platforms hosting content posted by others.
Invasion of Privacy; prohibition against the transmission of photography depicting nudity; include falsely created videographic or still ima…
Georgia's SB 337 (Act 550 of 2020) brings fake intimate images into the state's nonconsensual pornography law. O.C.G.A. 16-11-90 already made it a crime to knowingly transmit or post, without consent, a photo or video showing an adult's nudity or sexually explicit conduct when it harasses or causes financial loss to the person depicted and serves no legitimate purpose to them. The act adds that this includes a falsely created videographic or still image, which covers deepfakes and other fabricated images. Interactive computer services and telecommunications providers are not liable for content posted by others. It took effect on the Governor's approval.
