Ohio HB524 prohibits AI models from suggesting self-harm or harming others, with penalties for violations.

Ohio HB524 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit the development or deployment of artificial intelligence models or applications that encourage self-harm or harming another person. The bill defines "self-harm" as any attempt to physically injure oneself, including suicide. It also outlines procedures for the attorney general to investigate potential violations, including the ability to subpoena witnesses and require the production of relevant matter.
