Key Requirement
Florida has no comprehensive AI statute, but narrow AI laws are in effect: political ads containing deceptive generative-AI depictions of real people must carry a prescribed AI disclaimer (Fla. Stat. 106.145), and creating AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery is a felony (HB 757). Existing consumer-protection law may also apply to AI-driven decisions.
HB 2094 would have required high-risk AI developers to implement safeguards against algorithmic discrimination. Governor Youngkin vetoed the bill on March 24, 2025; no dedicated AI law currently in effect.
