CHATBOT RESPONSE LIABILITY ACT

Summary
Creates the Chatbot Response Liability Act. Provides that a proprietor of a chatbot that is used as an alternative to a human representative or that provides any substantive response, information, advice, or action may not disclaim liability if the chatbot provides materially misleading, incorrect, contradictory, or harmful information that results in financial loss or other demonstrable harm or that results in bodily harm to the covered user or any third party. Provides that a proprietor of a chatbot shall provide clear, conspicuous, and explicit notice to covered users that the covered users are interacting with an artificial intelligence chatbot program rather than a human. Sets forth requirements for proprietors of companion chatbots, including parental consent for the use of companion chatbots by minors. Requires the Attorney General to adopt rules to determine commercially reasonable and technically feasible methods for proprietors of companion chatbots to comply with the Act. Effective one year after becoming law.
