North Dakota AI and Privacy Laws

What the law says

North Dakota has no broad AI law or comprehensive consumer privacy law. 2025 laws require AI disclosure statements on political communications, make it a crime to create or share nonconsensual sexual deepfakes with civil damages up to $10,000, and require that prior authorization denials be made by a licensed physician rather than AI, effective January 1, 2026.

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.
