Summary
The bill forces companies that offer artificial‑intelligence companions or platforms to tell users they are talking to software, not a person, and to put in place protocols that detect and intervene when users show suicidal or self‑harm thoughts. It also sets special rules for interactions with minors, bans deceptive or romantic claims, and requires yearly public reporting. The goal is to reduce mental‑health harms and increase transparency for users of AI chat companions.
