Florida’s Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, passed the state Senate with a significant majority.
The bill includes provisions like safeguarding minors’ accounts with parental consent and prohibiting unauthorized use of personal information.
The bill aims to establish a statewide framework for using AI instructional tools in education, emphasizing the need to protect consumers and vulnerable groups.
Despite support in the Senate, Governor DeSantis suggests that House leadership is blocking its passage due to alignment with President Donald Trump’s opposition to state-level AI regulation.
House Speaker Daniel Perez plans to not bring the bill to a vote, advocating for federal oversight, not state regulation of AI.
The Department of Legal Affairs requested an additional $987,062 in funding to cover the anticipated increase in workload if the bill is enacted.
