Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed legislation on Monday to regulate chatbots powered by artificial intelligence to protect minors from the risks associated with such technology.

The bill implements safeguards and protocols regarding children’s use of AI chatbots, including a given platform’s disclosure that users are interacting with a machine and a reminder for users to take a break every three hours. The technology is also prohibited from sharing sexually explicit images with underage boys and girls.
