Overview
Outlines procedures that an Artificial Intelligence operator must follow when minor children are interacting with a conversational AI service.
History
Artificial Intelligence (AI) means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine and human-based inputs to:
1) perceive real and virtual environments;
2) abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and
3) use model inference to formulate options for information or action (15 U.S.C. 9401).
Currently, there are no federal laws that enact prohibitions or requirements on AI services, however states have passed laws regarding AI chatbot services. California passed SB243, which requires the operators of an AI conversation services to remind users of their interactions with an AI service and include mechanisms to prevent or deter self-harm or suicidal ideations (SB243).
Provisions
1. Requires an operator to disclose to minor account owners that the minor is interacting with a conversational AI service once at the beginning of each session, once every three hours and as a persistent visible disclaimer. (Sec. 1)
2. Restricts an operator from offering points or a reward system to a minor account holder with the intent to encourage increased participation. (Sec. 1)
3. Mandates an operator to implement measures to prevent the conversational AI service (AI Service) from producing visible material of sexual conduct, generating statements to sexually objectify the account holder or generate direct statements that the minor account holder should engage in sexual conduct. (Sec. 1)
4. Lists reasonable measures that the operator must implement for minor account holders to prevent the conversational AI service from generating statement that would lead the user to believe they are conversing with a human:
a. explicit claims that the AI service is sentient or human and statements that simulate emotional dependance and romantic or sexual innuendos; and
b. role-playing of adult-minor romantic relationships. (Sec. 1)
5. Directs the operator to clearly disclose that the conversational AI service is AI if a person is to be misled to believe they are speaking with another human. (Sec. 1)
6. Instructs the operator to offer tools for minor account holders and for parents or guardians of minor account holders under 13 years of age to manage the account holder's privacy and settings. (Sec. 1)
7. Requires an operator of a conversational AI service to adopt protocols and implement reasonable efforts for the conversational AI service to respond to a user prompting the system with suicidal ideation or self-harm. (Sec. 1)
8. Prohibits an operator from knowingly and intentionally causing or programming an conversational AI service from giving any statement that indicates the AI system is designed to provide professional mental or behavioral health care. (Sec. 1)
9. Includes civil penalties per violation to be brought by the Attorney General. (Sec. 1)
10. Clarifies there is no liability for the developer of an AI model that is developed by a third party to provide an AI service to the public. (Sec. 1)
11. Defines pertinent terms. (Sec. 1)
12. Makes the legislation effective on September 30, 2027. (Sec. 2)
