The Babylon Bee, a Christian satire news site, has filed a lawsuit against New Mexico officials challenging a law that requires disclaimers on AI-generated political content, including satire and parody. The law, known as HB 182, was passed in 2024 and mandates that any political advertisements containing AI-generated media must include a disclaimer indicating the content's origin. The Babylon Bee argues that this law infringes on free speech rights and alters the intended message of their satire. The lawsuit, supported by the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom, claims that the law could chill their expression and that it discriminates against certain types of content while exempting news stories and editorials. The complaint names members of the New Mexico Ethics Commission as defendants and seeks an injunction against the law's enforcement. The Ethics Commission has described the lawsuit as baseless, stating that they have not enforced the AI disclaimer requirements against political parody and satire.
