AG Torrez  today announced their proposed landmark legislation, the Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act (AI2A), which would establish New Mexico’s first comprehensive framework governing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and synthetic media, including deepfakes. The bill aims to increase transparency, protect individuals from AI-enabled harm, and modernize enforcement tools, while preserving free speech, innovation, and lawful uses of AI. 

“Generative AI has incredible potential, but it also poses serious risks when used to deceive, defame, or exploit individuals. The Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act will ensure that accountability and transparency are built into these systems from the start. New Mexicans deserve to know when content is real and when it’s synthetic, and this law would give us the tools to enforce that standard.” – AG Torrez
