Creates provisions relating to artificial intelligence chatbots
Second Read and Referred S General Laws Committee
Summary
The GUARD Act would make it illegal for anyone to create or distribute AI chatbots that could lure minors into sexual activity or self‑harm, imposing fines up to $100,000 per violation. It also forces chatbot operators to verify each user’s age with reliable methods, keep age data secure, and repeatedly remind users that they are interacting with an AI, not a human or licensed professional.
