CHATBOT Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Latest action on S. 4407: Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children and teens who use open-ended AI chatbots, their parents, and the companies that run those services. Families would get more control over accounts and data. Providers would have to build new account tools and follow new rules. Federal and state officials would oversee compliance.
Why this matters: Young people can now have long and personal talks with AI chatbots, but parents may have little control over those accounts. This bill would give parents more tools and limit how providers use young users' data. It could also change the privacy teens have when talking to chatbots. The wider effects on learning, relationships, and mental health remain unclear, so the bill calls for more study.
