HB 2637 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for a temporary prohibition on artificial intelligence chatbots in children's toys; and imposing penalties.

This Pennsylvania bill temporarily bans the sale, manufacture, and distribution of children's toys containing artificial intelligence chatbots for a period of three years. It defines an AI chatbot as technology that uses generative AI to hold interactive conversations with users, while excluding toys that only provide pre-written responses. The law applies to any product intended for children under 14 years old and allows the Attorney General to enforce the ban through civil penalties and legal injunctions if violations occur. After the three-year period expires, the prohibition will automatically end, though any violations committed during the ban remain subject to enforcement.
