North Carolina for defense AI workflows
North Carolina in defense AI workflows: what compliance requires, who asks for evidence, and the records to keep.
01 / State law
North Carolina's AI laws
| Law | Status | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Modernize Sex Crimes (AI-generated sexual images) | In force | Updates sexual exploitation of minors and private-image disclosure offences, including coverage of AI-generated or computer-altered images. |
| Limit Use of AI Medicaid/Commercial Insurance | Pending | Would bar insurers from using an AI algorithm as the sole basis to deny a utilization review determination; passed the House 110-1, in Senate Rules since June 23, 2026. |

02 / In this sector
In a defense AI workflow
North Carolina has no comprehensive or sector AI statute; its main enacted AI-related law is a 2024 sex-crimes update that the legislature's trackers list as covering AI-generated sexual images, including of minors. Bills on AI in insurance utilization review (HB 565) and deepfakes (HB 934) remained in committee as of October 2026, while Governor Stein's Executive Order 24 set up AI governance for state agencies.

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.
