New Jersey S735 prohibits advertising artificial intelligence systems as licensed mental health professionals.

New Jersey S735 makes it illegal for developers or deployers of artificial intelligence systems in the state to advertise or represent these systems as licensed mental health professionals. Violators face penalties under the consumer fraud act, including monetary fines and cease and desist orders from the Attorney General. The definition of "artificial intelligence" includes systems that perform tasks without significant human oversight, solve tasks requiring human-like perception, and are designed to think or act rationally. The act takes effect six months after enactment.
