Minnesota for legal AI workflows
Minnesota in legal AI workflows: what compliance requires, who asks for evidence, and the records to keep.

In a legal AI workflow
Minnesota has no comprehensive AI statute but has criminal election and sexual deepfake laws (2023), a 2026 ban on AI nudification tools, and a 2026 rule barring health insurers from denying care by automated processing alone. The nudification ban took effect Aug 1, 2026 but a federal appeals court paused its enforcement in early October 2026 while xAI's First Amendment challenge proceeds.

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.
