PAUL, Minn. (Minnesota Reformer) \u2014 A bipartisan group of Minnesota lawmakers are hoping to limit how the artificial intelligence industry operates in the state, arguing that it\u2019s evolving in ways that are harmful and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota senators on Monday considered five measures to regulate AI, including a bill (SF 1857) stating that companies that create AI chatbots \u2014 like ChatGPT \u2014 ensure minors do not access them, and a bill (SF 1886) requiring that companies disclose when a person is communicating with AI.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and Eric Lucero, R-St. Michael, are leading the bipartisan effort to regulate AI. The duo \u2014 who are on opposite sides of the political spectrum \u2014 said they aren\u2019t opposed to the technology but urged lawmakers to protect Minnesotans. Maye Quade and Lucero were co-authors of a bill regulating deepfakes \u2014 digitally altered photos or videos depicting events that didn\u2019t actually happen \u2014 which\u00a0became law in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a recognition that we need to do something to bring controls in place, to uphold the Constitution, to protect privacy and to empower individuals against these multi-billion dollar industries,\u201d said Lucero, who works in cybersecurity, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>One of Maye Quade and Lucero\u2019s bills (SF 1120) would prohibit the government from requesting reverse-location data, which many law enforcement agencies use when they do not know who specifically committed a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement can obtain a warrant that mandates a technology company give them data about which cell phones were in a certain location at a specific time or who has searched for a specific word or phrase on their phones or on an AI chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>Civil liberties\u00a0advocates\u00a0argue warrants are supposed to be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvrr.com\/2026\/03\/10\/minnesota-lawmakers-seek-to-regulate-artificial-intelligence\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota lawmakers seek to regulate artificial intelligence https:\/\/www.kvrr.com\/2026\/03\/10\/minnesota-lawmakers-seek-to-regulate-artificial-intelligence\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-10 14:42:00 Source Domain: www.kvrr.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":222048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.kvrr.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d\/u\/hc-1-cmboaavqbk-1536x1024-1.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-222047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222047"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222047"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222049,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222047\/revisions\/222049"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
