Establishes provisions relating to companion chatbots
This bill creates new rules for "companion chatbots," which are artificial intelligence systems designed to have human-like conversations and relationships with users. It would make it illegal for minors under 18 to access these chatbots for recreational or relational purposes and requires age verification for all users. The bill also prohibits chatbot providers from deceiving users about the chatbot's nonhuman nature, requires systems to prevent emotional dependence, and bans the use of human-like avatars for these chatbots.
