Artificial intelligence; define.

Mississippi House Bill 1723, as sent to the Governor, establishes a statutory definition of 'artificial intelligence' for use in state law. Section 1 defines 'artificial intelligence' as a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments, using machine- and human-based inputs to perceive environments, abstract perceptions into models through automated analysis, and use model inference to formulate options for information or action. Section 2 directs that this definition be codified in Chapter 3, Title 1 of the Mississippi Code of 1972. Section 3 sets the effective date as July 1, 2026. The bill does not impose regulations, mandates, or restrictions; it solely provides a foundational legal definition.
