The '''California Child Safety Chatbot Bills''' ([[SB 1119]] and [[AB 2023]]) are companion legislation in the California Legislature that would establish comprehensive safety regulations for AI companion chatbots interacting with minors under 18, building on 2025's SB 243. SB 1119 passed the Senate Privacy, Digital Technologies, and Consumer Protection Committee (7-0) and Senate Judiciary Committee (13-0), advancing from committee on '''April 20, 2026'''.<ref name="tcai-sb1119">[https://www.transparencycoalition.ai/news/ TCAI, "TCAI Bill Guide: SB 1119 and AB 2023, California's child safety chatbot bills," April 22, 2026]</ref> | |||
=== Key Provisions === | |||
The bills require operators of AI companion chatbots serving California users to implement: | |||
* '''Age verification''': Use systems from the Digital Age Assurance Act to confirm users under 18. | |||
* '''Annual risk assessments''': Identify child safety risks (including self-harm), mitigate them, document actions, and publish a child safety policy online. | |||
* '''Parental dashboards''': Allow parents/guardians to review information shared with chatbots and how that data is used. | |||
* '''Disclosure requirements''': Labels on AI chatbots notifying users they are conversing with an AI. | |||
* '''Suicide prevention''': Resources provided to minors seeking help. | |||
