Alabama AI laws: what's in force, and what's coming
Alabama has no comprehensive AI statute; its AI rules cover election deepfakes, AI-generated intimate and child sexual images, and, since October 1, 2026, AI use in health insurance coverage decisions. State-government AI use is shaped by a 2024 executive order and task force rather than by statute.

Alabama's AI laws
| Law | Citation | Status | Effective | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Election deepfakes (materially deceptive media) | HB 172 (2024 Regular Session) | In force | 1 Oct 2024 | Bars distributing AI-made materially deceptive media of a candidate within 90 days of an election to influence it, unless it carries a manipulation disclaimer. |
| AI in health coverage decisions | SB 63 (2026 Regular Session) | In force | 1 Oct 2026 | Health benefit plan providers may not use AI as the sole basis for an adverse coverage decision; a qualified clinician must decide, with annual certification to the Department of Insurance. |
| Altered private images | HB 161 (2024 Regular Session) | In force | 1 Oct 2024 | Makes it a crime to create or alter a private intimate image without consent, including AI-generated images of an identifiable person. |
| AI-generated child sexual abuse material | HB 168 (2024 Regular Session) | In force | 1 Oct 2024 | Extends child sexual abuse material offenses to digitally created or altered depictions. |

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits
Keep a record anyone can check
When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.
A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.
The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.
Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.
A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
