No comprehensive AI law — narrow statutes enacted (conversational-AI safety SF 2417, eff. 2027; AI synthetic-media/CSAM laws SF 2243 & HF 2240, 2024) — **Status: No Law**

Iowa has not enacted a comprehensive AI law. Narrow AI statutes apply: effective July 1, 2027, operators of public-facing conversational AI must disclose that users are interacting with AI, protect minors, and adopt self-harm protocols (SF 2417); and 2024 laws criminalize AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery and child sexual abuse material. Existing consumer-protection laws may also apply to AI-driven decisions.
