This bill is smart and targeted. It doesn’t regulate most AI—it focuses on the highest-risk companion-style designs by requiring clear disclosures, prohibiting manipulative or sexualized interactions with minors, and ensuring basic protections around self-harm content. I urge you to pass HB 1782 so our kids can grow up using new technology safely, without being manipulated, misled, or exposed to content that puts their health and well-being at risk.
