Alaska SB 177 (33rd Legislature) — AI / deepfake campaign disclosure, cybersecurity & data privacy [DIED]

A 2023-2024 Alaska Senate bill that would have required disclosure of AI-generated deepfakes in campaign communications and addressed state cybersecurity and data privacy. It died without passing: the 33rd Alaska Legislature adjourned on May 15, 2024 with the bill still stuck in Senate committee referrals (Judiciary, then Finance). This entry is kept only as a historical record of a dead bill — it is NOT a law in effect and does not protect anyone today. The same subject matter is being pursued in the current 34th Legislature as AK SB 2.

Technical detail

CSSB 177(STA): An Act relating to artificial intelligence; requiring disclosure of deepfakes in campaign communications; relating to cybersecurity; and relating to data privacy. Reported out of Senate State Affairs with a new title on 2024-04-24 and referred to Judiciary with a Finance referral added; never received a final floor vote in either chamber. Died at sine die adjournment of the 33rd Legislature's second regular session (2024-05-15).

Who is protected: Would have protected Alaska voters/recipients of campaign communications and individuals' data — but the bill never became law, so no protection exists.

Who must comply: Would have applied to campaign communicators and state agencies handling AI/data — but the bill never became law, so no obligations exist.
