Counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), working on AI and privacy policy.
As the deployment of chatbots has already led to devastating harms, it is time for Congress to establish clear safeguards to rein in this technology. The People-First Chatbot Act tackles the root of the chatbot problem by protecting users from exploitative data practices and establishing a clear framework to hold companies accountable for the harms their products cause. EPIC applauds the bill sponsors for advancing strong legislation that centers privacy and civil rights by putting people, not tech companies, first.
