(By: . North Dakota Monitor) – Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed two bills that will change laws surrounding political communications and advertisements in North Dakota.

House Bill 1167, sponsored by Rep. Jonathan Warrey, R-Casselton, would require a disclaimer in capital letters on any political communication or political advertisement created wholly or in part by artificial intelligence tools.

The bill would include advertisements and communications involving political candidates, political committees, political parties and initiated ballot committees or petitions.

“With capital letters, (House Bill) 1167 is a step forward in setting perimeters for the use of AI within political communications,” said Rep. Austen Schauer, R-West Fargo.
