California SB1159 clarifies that artificial intelligence systems cannot engage with governmental processes.

California SB1159 amends several sections of the Government Code to clarify that artificial intelligence systems, autonomous agents, and robots cannot engage with governmental processes. These changes ensure that terms like "person" and "member of the public" do not include AI systems. The bill aims to prevent AI systems from overwhelming governmental agencies with automated interactions. It allows natural persons to use AI to engage with agencies, provided the engagement is consistent with ordinary participation.
