MississippiAI regulation

Regulation Status

• Mississippi has not enacted a comprehensive or risk-based AI statute and addresses artificial intelligence through narrow, targeted measures. SB 2577 is a political-deepfake statute that prohibits disseminating a “digitization”—an image or audio altered in a realistic manner constituting a deepfake—within 90 days of an election without the depicted individual's consent and with intent to injure a candidate, influence election results, or deter voting, subject to a disclaimer exception; penalties include imprisonment, injunctive relief, and fines up to $10,000.
• HB 1723 establishes a uniform statutory definition of artificial intelligence for Mississippi law, defining AI as a machine-based system that, for human-defined objectives, can make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments and describing its use of machine- and human-based inputs, automated analysis, and model inference. The measure specifies no enforcement mechanism. Beyond these two measures, Mississippi has not passed automated-decision, transparency, or frontier-model legislation, and it has no omnibus AI governance framework.
• Executive and agency developments: Mississippi ITS Artificial Intelligence Acceptable Use Policy: Sets acceptable-use and governance requirements for AI under Information Technology Services, following Executive Order 1584. Addresses responsible adoption and use of approved systems, with policy exceptions requiring written approval. The policy identifies November 25, 2025 as its issue date.
