Youth AI Privacy Act aims to protect minors from harmful AI chatbot interactions.

The Youth AI Privacy Act mandates safe design features for AI chatbots used by minors, including clear disclosures that interactions are with AI, not humans. It prohibits deployers from processing personal data of minors for profiling, advertising, or training algorithms unless specific conditions are met. The Act also bans features that encourage compulsive use, such as rewards based on usage frequency. It allows state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of residents for violations and provides a private right of action for parents or guardians of minors.
