Louisiana AI laws: what's in force, and what's coming

Louisiana has no comprehensive AI statute; its AI-specific laws criminalize sexual deepfakes of minors and AI-generated images of others (2023, expanded 2026), require AI disclosures on deceptive candidate depictions in election communications (2026), and make attorneys exercise diligence on possibly AI-manipulated evidence (2025). Earlier election deepfake bills were vetoed in 2024, and a 2026 critical-infrastructure AI risk bill (SB 474) did not pass.
