02 / In this sector

In a legal AI workflow

Kentucky's main AI law, SB 4 (2025), sets governance rules for state agencies' AI use through the Commonwealth Office of Technology and an AI Governance Committee, and creates a civil cause of action over synthetic media in election communications. It has no comprehensive private-sector AI statute; 2026 bills on AI therapy chatbots did not pass.

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.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

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.
