House Bill 3453 for the Oklahoma Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bill of Rights (the bill) was introduced, on January 18, 2024, to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The bill's first reading is scheduled for February 5, 2024. In particular, the bill adds a new section to the Oklahoma Statutes relating to AI.

The bill defines AI as a set of techniques, including, but not limited to, machine learning that is designed to approximate a cognitive task or a system that:

• performs tasks under varying and unpredictable circumstances without significant human oversight or can learn from experience and improve such performance when exposed to data sets;
• is developed in any context, including, but not limited to, software or physical hardware, and solves tasks requiring human-like perception, cognition, planning, learning, communication, or physical action; or
• is designed to:
  • think or act like a human, including, but not limited to, a cognitive architecture or neural network; or
  • act rationally, including, but not limited to, an intelligent software agent or embodied robot that achieves goals using perception, planning, reasoning, learning, communication, decision-making, or action.

Moreover, the bill introduces, amongst others, the following rights to all citizens of Oklahoma:

• the right to know when they are interacting with an AI engine rather than a real person;
• the right to know when their data is being used in an AI model and the right to opt out;
• the right to know when contracts and other documents that they are relying on were generated by an AI engine rather than a real person;
• the right to know when they are consuming images or text that were generated entirely by an AI engine and not reviewed by a human;
• the right to be able to rely on a watermark or some other form of content credentials to verify the authenticity of creative products they generate or consume. Specifically, it shall not be permissible for any websites, social media platforms, search engines, and the like, to remove a watermark or content credential without inserting an updated credential that indicates that the original was removed or altered;
• the right to know that any company that includes any of their data in an AI model has implemented industry best practice security measures for data privacy, and conducts at least annual risk assessments to assess design, operational, and discrimination harm;
• the right to approve any derivative media that is generated by an AI engine and uses audio recordings of their voice or images of them to recreate their likeness; and
• the right to not be subject to algorithmic or model bias which discriminates based on age, race, national origin, sex, disability, pregnancy, religious beliefs, veteran status, or any other legally protected classification.
