New Mexico
AI Policy Overview
New Mexico lawmakers have yet to prioritize artificial intelligence policies broadly. However, the House Science, Technology & Telecommunications Committee held a meeting in July 2023 that covered the impact of AI on civil liberties, criminal justice, and its use in spreading misinformation. The Committee met again in November 2023 to discuss transparency in AI. In 2024, lawmakers enacted a political deepfake bill into law.
Deepfakes
In 2024, New Mexico enacted a law (NM HB 182) to require a political advertisement generated in whole or in part by using artificial intelligence to include a disclaimer. The law makes it a violation of the Campaign Reporting Act if the distribution occurs within 90 days of an election.
