Florida AI laws in 2026
As of July 19, 2026, Florida AI laws form a four-layer use-case map: three enacted compliance paths and one defeated 2026 bill to monitor.
Florida does not use one comprehensive AI statute for this tracked surface. Compliance screening starts with the system use case: political advertising, altered sexual depictions and platform hosting, or conduct that can trigger Florida consumer-protection law. CS/SB 482 remains a watch item rather than an enacted duty.

Florida currently uses a use-case-specific compliance map: generative-AI disclosure for qualifying political advertising, criminal and civil rules for nonconsensual altered sexual depictions, a 48-hour removal workflow for covered platforms, and FDUTPA remedies for unfair or deceptive conduct. CS/SB 482 did not become law.
