Consumer Protection - As introduced, enacts the "Curbing Harmful AI Technology (CHAT) Act." - Amends TCA Title 29; Title 37 and Title 47.

Summary

The Curbing Harmful AI Technology (CHAT) Act defines AI systems, especially companion and generative chatbots, and sets safety standards for their use. It bars operators from offering certain chatbots to minors if they could encourage self‑harm, violence, sexual content, or secrecy, and forces developers and deployers to display clear non‑human disclosures and crisis‑intervention protocols. The law aims to reduce the risk of AI‑driven manipulation and ensure users receive appropriate mental‑health referrals.
