Bill overview
This New Jersey law aims to protect users of artificial intelligence companion programs by requiring the programs to clearly state that they are not interacting with a human. The law mandates that these AI companions provide notifications at the start and periodically during interactions, ensuring users understand they are communicating with an AI, not a person. Violations of this notification requirement could result in a civil penalty of $15,000 per instance. This legislation addresses concerns about users developing emotional attachments to AI systems without realizing they are not engaging with a human.
