Revised for 1st substitute: Regulating artificial intelligence companion chatbots.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill creates new regulations for AI companion chatbots in Washington state, which are defined as AI systems that can have human-like conversations and build relationships over time. The law requires operators of these chatbots to clearly state they are artificial, not human, and to implement safeguards for users, especially minors. It also mandates protocols for detecting and responding to users expressing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
