Overview
- Minnesota senators introduced a five-bill package to regulate AI, covering health insurance decisions and dynamic pricing alongside consumer-facing rules.
- One measure would bar minors from using chatbots and open a civil cause of action with penalties up to $5 million for companies that allow access.
- Another bill would require clear notice when customers interact with AI and guarantee an option to speak with a human.
- A proposal to ban reverse-location and reverse-keyword searches drew objections from police leaders who say the tool can be crucial in serious cases.
- Tech industry representatives warned the approach could make Minnesota an outlier, while a Trump executive order empowering federal challenges to state AI laws adds uncertainty.
