New York Passes Law Restricting AI Chatbot Use for Minors

New York has enacted legislation that places limits on how AI chatbots can be used by minors. Under the law, chatbots are barred from producing outputs that could lead a user to believe the bot has a personal relationship with them, a professional relationship, or an authority-figure role. The provision aims to prevent young users from forming misleading impressions about the nature of AI systems.
