CHAT Act mandates age verification and protections for minors using AI chatbots.

The CHAT Act requires artificial intelligence chatbots to implement age verification measures and establish certain protections for minor users. Covered entities must freeze existing user accounts, request age information for new accounts, and verify ages using accurate methods. Minors must have accounts affiliated with verified parental accounts. The Act mandates monitoring for suicidal ideation, providing resources to minors and parents, and blocking access to sexually explicit content. The Federal Trade Commission enforces the Act, and states can also bring actions.
