North Dakota HB 1167 (signed April 11, 2025) creates a new section in chapter 16.1-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, the chapter governing corrupt practices in elections, requiring an artificial intelligence disclaimer on political content. Any action taken for a political purpose — including communication and political advertising in support of or opposition to a candidate, political committee, or political party, or to promote the passage or defeat of initiated or referred measures or petitions — that contains images, graphics, videos, audio, text, or other digital content created in whole or in part with artificial intelligence to visually or audibly impersonate a human must prominently state the disclaimer "THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE." The section expressly does not apply to content that uses artificial intelligence solely for text generation, grammar correction, spelling checks, stylistic editing, or enhancing existing content without creating a new impersonation of human likeness or voice. "Artificial intelligence" is defined as a machine-based system capable of creating images, graphics, videos, audio, text, and other digital content based on human-defined objectives or data patterns, excluding systems explicitly programmed with rules or tools designed solely to assist with grammar, spelling, or word suggestions without generating human likeness or voice. Despite the bill's general title, the statute reaches only election-related synthetic impersonation and imposes no artificial intelligence disclosure duty outside the political context.
