Parents should not have to worry that an AI chatbot is pretending to be their child’s friend or encouraging them to form an emotional attachment to a machine. The Protecting Kids from Human-Like Chatbots Act puts parents in control and makes sure AI chatbots used by minors are designed to function as tools, without forming fake relationships.
