Consumer rights to request human review of AI-made decisions affecting them. Here is what Arkansas businesses need to know in 2026.
Arkansas has enacted No AI-specific law. No state-specific AI law. Federal laws apply. Legislature studying AI issues.
State law does not replace federal law — you must comply with both. These federal rules apply to ai decision rights nationwide:
Arkansas's No AI-specific law often includes size-based exemptions. Businesses with fewer than 25 employees may be exempt, but should verify thresholds. Always review the specific statute for employee count and revenue thresholds.
The key deadline in Arkansas is N/A. The law is still developing — monitor for final rules.
Arkansas penalties for AI non-compliance: N/A. While enforcement is still developing, companies found non-compliant face civil penalties and potential litigation.
Federal law does not currently preempt state AI laws. Arkansas's No AI-specific law applies independently of federal rules. Federal laws like ECOA, FCRA, and HIPAA also apply alongside state law — so you must comply with both.
Best practice: document all AI systems used, conduct an internal audit, implement required disclosures, and keep records for at least 3 years. For high-risk uses like ai decision rights, consider hiring an independent third-party auditor to validate compliance.
