Delaware for defense AI workflows
Delaware in defense AI workflows: what compliance requires, who asks for evidence, and the records to keep.
01 / State law
Delaware's AI laws
| Law | Status | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Deep fakes in elections | In force | Makes it a crime to distribute a deepfake within 90 days of an election to harm a candidate or party or deceive voters, unless it carries an 'altered or artificially generated' disclaimer; candidates may seek injunctions. |
| Sexual deepfakes: civil and criminal remedies | In force | Extends intimate-image civil remedies and the violation-of-privacy offense to nude or sexual deepfakes; making such a depiction of a minor is a felony. |

02 / In this sector
In a defense AI workflow
Delaware has no comprehensive AI statute; its AI laws cover election deepfakes and sexual deepfakes, plus a statutory AI Commission that advises on state AI use and inventories generative AI in state government. In 2025 the legislature directed that commission to build a regulatory sandbox framework for testing agentic AI.

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.
