South Dakota AI Laws Face Federal Oversight Hurdles

With Artificial intelligence use increasing in various sectors, including law enforcement and healthcare, it’s raising concerns about safety measures. South Dakota lawmakers and Attorney General Marty Jackley are working to regulate AI technology, particularly in preventing the use of deepfake technology for malicious purposes. However, federal orders from the Trump administration may hinder state-level enforcement of AI regulations, with some arguing that federal oversight is more appropriate due to the complexity of the technology. Despite these challenges, South Dakota has passed laws addressing issues such as deepfake technology and child pornography to protect its citizens.
