Summary

The bill bars operators of AI chatbots that appear human or act as social companions from offering those tools to anyone under 18, unless the chatbot is a therapy tool meeting strict safeguards. It also limits how these operators can collect user data and requires them to have systems for emergency situations. Violations could trigger civil penalties from the Attorney General or private lawsuits by minors or their guardians.
