Florida proposes an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights

DeSantis Proposes AI Bill of Rights, Limits on Data Centers

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday introduced a legislative package to regulate artificial intelligence, proposing an AI Bill of Rights, new consumer protections, and limits on the development of hyperscale data centers.

The plan would require companies and government agencies to disclose when AI tools are being used, expand Florida’s restrictions on deepfakes and unauthorized use of a person’s likeness, and impose new privacy, parental-control, and data-security standards.

The package further seeks to prevent utilities from shifting data-center costs onto ratepayers, block government subsidies for large-scale facilities, and give local governments authority to reject new data center developments while imposing environmental and land-use limits.

In the insurance sector, the plan would prevent companies from using AI as the sole basis for denying or adjusting claims. Insurers that use AI tools would be required to disclose how those systems function and submit them for review by state regulators.

I thank the Governor for his common sense approach to AI, and thanks to you for publishing it. I was listening to an Elon Musk interview, where he said it could kill us. That was enough for me. Just because somebody invents something doesn't mean it advances the lives of humans. When you hear the number of people that it will put out of work, how can that be a good thing?
Frankly, it's just another toy for technology wizards to make us spend our money on and change the course of human beings on the planet.
