Senate Panel Bans AI Chatbots For Minors
A 22-0 vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced bipartisan legislation banning minors from using AI companion chatbots. The bill targets the emotional and psychological risks of human-AI relationships for children. This move signals a shift toward stricter age-gating requirements. Developers must now prepare for rigorous identity verification to comply with these federal restrictions.
