New Jersey AI laws: what's in force, and what's coming

New Jersey's main AI-specific statute is a 2025 law that makes creating or sharing deceptive AI-generated audio or video to further a crime a third-degree crime with fines up to $30,000 and a civil action for victims. The Attorney General and Division on Civil Rights treat AI hiring and other automated decision tools as covered by the Law Against Discrimination, while comprehensive and generative-AI bills remain pending.
