Summary
The law creates a new part of Tennessee law that defines AI systems, companion chatbots and generative AI tools, then imposes safety limits on how they can interact with users under 18. It requires clear human‑not‑AI notices, mental‑health redirects, parental consent for training data, public reporting, and civil penalties for violations. The goal is to protect minors from harmful or misleading AI behavior while giving regulators enforcement tools.
