Kansas AI laws: what's in force, and what's coming
Kansas has no comprehensive or consumer-facing AI statute; its AI-specific laws ban AI platforms controlled by a country of concern (such as DeepSeek) on state devices and networks, and extend child sexual exploitation crimes to AI-generated or morphed images. Bills on election deepfakes failed in 2024 and 2025.

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.
