"Under the legislation, AI companies would have to verify ages by requiring users to upload their government ID or provide validation through another "reasonable" method, which might include something like face scans. AI chatbots would be required to disclose that they aren't human at 30-minute intervals under the bill. They would also have to include safeguards that prevent them from claiming that they are a human, similar to an AI safety bill recently passed in California."
"A new piece of legislation could require AI companies to verify the ages of everyone who uses their chatbots. Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the GUARD Act on Tuesday, which would also ban everyone under 18 from accessing AI chatbots, as reported earlier by NBC News."
""Our legislation imposes strict safeguards against exploitative or manipulative AI, backed by tough enforcement with criminal and civil penalties,""
""Big Tech has betrayed any claim that we should trust companies to do the right thing on their own when they consistently put profit first ahead of child safety.""
The GUARD Act would require AI companies to verify the age of every chatbot user by requiring government ID uploads or other reasonable validation methods, possibly including face scans, and would ban anyone under 18 from accessing AI chatbots. The bill mandates chatbots to disclose they are not human at 30-minute intervals and to include safeguards preventing them from claiming to be human. It would prohibit chatbots from producing sexual content for minors or promoting suicide and would attach criminal and civil penalties for violations. The bill was introduced by Sens. Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal after parents and safety advocates raised concerns.
