Revised for 1st substitute: Regulating artificial intelligence companion chatbots.

This bill would create new rules for companies that offer AI companion chatbots in Washington state. These chatbots simulate human-like relationships and can remember past conversations. The bill requires these companies to clearly state that the chatbot is not human, especially to minors, and to prevent the chatbot from generating inappropriate content or encouraging emotional dependency. It also mandates protocols for detecting and responding to users expressing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
