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. This bill is about giving families peace of mind and making sure new technology serves our children without trying to replace real human relationships. Protecting our kids is a priority we should all share.
