Bill Summary

An act relating to artificial intelligence.

AI Summary

This bill expresses the California Legislature's intention to create new laws focused on protecting children's safety when interacting with chatbots, which are artificial intelligence programs designed to simulate conversation. The existing law already requires operators of these chatbots to have protocols in place to prevent them from generating content related to suicidal thoughts or self-harm, and to inform users, especially minors, that they are talking to AI and that some chatbots might not be appropriate for them. This bill, however, does not introduce specific new regulations but rather signals the legislature's commitment to addressing this issue further.
