California Leads the Way with AI Regulation for Chatbots: A Game Changer for User Safety

Facing increasing public concern over the potential harms of unregulated artificial intelligence (AI), California has taken a significant step forward in protecting users. The state recently passed SB 243, a landmark bill that will establish crucial regulations for companion chatbots – AI systems designed to provide human-like conversation and social support. This is poised to become a precedent for other states across the US and potentially internationally, setting a new standard for the development and deployment of this technology.
