Louisiana AI and Privacy Laws

What the law says

Laws in effect since August 1, 2026 require disclosure when AI is used to create or alter a candidate’s image, voice, or likeness in political ads, require a disclosure at the start of AI-generated campaign calls that use a public figure’s voice, and make it a crime to create or share nonconsensual AI-generated explicit images.

The Louisiana Data Privacy Act, signed May 29, 2026, takes effect January 1, 2027.

A 2025 law sets rules for raising and disclosing AI-generated evidence in civil cases.

What this means for your organization

This state regulates specific uses of AI rather than AI in general. Check whether any of your AI uses fall into the categories above, such as chatbots, synthetic media, or AI in health coverage decisions, and remember that federal law and the laws of other states where you operate may also apply.

Our 2027 AI Governance Checklist covers the steps most organizations need, and our State AI Law Trackers explain the rules for specific industries.
