Oregon Passes New AI Chatbot Safety Bill to Protect Children and Users

Lawmakers in the U.S. state of Oregon have approved a new law aimed at making artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots safer, especially for children. The bill, known as SB 1546, received strong support from both the state Senate and the House of Representatives.

As per the bill, the new law requires companies that run AI chatbots to clearly inform users that they are communicating with an AI system and not a human. It also includes special protections if the system believes the user might be a minor.
