❌ HB524
Impose penalties for AI models suggesting harming self or another
Current Status: In House Committee (Technology and Innovation)
Summary
The bill imposes penalties on developers of artificial intelligence models or applications that suggest self-harm or harm to others. It allows the attorney general to investigate violations, issue subpoenas, and impose civil penalties for non-compliance. The penalties collected will be deposited into a fund for suicide prevention and mental health crisis services.
Rationale
The bill restricts the development and deployment of AI technologies, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of individual rights and freedom of expression. It imposes government oversight and penalties that undermine personal responsibility and freedom in technological innovation.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over technology development
- Potential chilling effect on free speech and innovation
- Unclear definitions may lead to arbitrary enforcement
