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.
Washington has not enacted a comprehensive AI law — its high-risk AI bill (HB 2157) died in committee. Only narrow measures are law, including AI companion-chatbot safeguards (HB 2225) and AI content-provenance disclosure by large providers (HB 1170).
