Washington State Passes Bill: AI Chatbots Must Include Mental Health Protections
Washington state lawmakers have passed a bill, House Bill twenty-two twenty-five, which mandates AI chatbot companies to incorporate mental health safeguards. The law, set to take effect January first, twenty twenty-seven, targets companion chatbots that mimic human conversation. It requires these bots to disclose their AI nature every three hours and to provide crisis help resources if users seek health advice. The bill, which passed overwhelmingly, aims to prevent chatbots from giving risky mental health advice, particularly to young users.
