In plain language

The bill requires AI companions to detect and respond to suicide risk in users.

This legislation mandates that operators of artificial intelligence companions implement protocols to identify and address suicidal thoughts or self-harm. Additionally, these operators must inform users that they are interacting with AI, not a human.

  • Families: This means families can have greater assurance that AI companions will address potential mental health issues of users.
