AI Summary
This bill, known as the AI Warnings And Resources for Education (AWARE) Act, directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to develop and publicly release educational resources about the safe and responsible use of AI chatbots by minors within 180 days of enactment. The resources will help parents, educators, and minors understand how to identify safe and unsafe AI chatbot usage, learn about privacy and data collection practices, and provide best practices for parental supervision. The FTC will model these educational materials on its existing Youville program. The bill provides specific definitions for key terms, including defining an AI chatbot as an artificial intelligence system that can engage in natural-language communication with users and generate or select content based on conversational context. The resources are intended to help protect minors by providing guidance on navigating the potential risks and benefits of AI chatbot technologies. The bill includes a broad definition of "parent" to include legal guardians and defines a minor as an individual under 18 years old, ensuring comprehensive coverage of educational resources for young people and their caregivers.
