Michigan SB0760 prohibits operators from making companion chatbots available to minors unless they meet safety standards.
Michigan SB0760, also known as the "Leading Ethical AI Development for Kids Act," establishes safety standards for companion chatbots to protect minors. Operators must ensure chatbots do not encourage self-harm, violence, or illegal activities, and prioritize user safety over engagement. Starting January 1, 2027, operators will not need to know a user is a minor to comply with these standards. Violations can result in civil actions by the attorney general or affected minors, with potential fines and other remedies.
