Pennsylvania HB2637 temporarily bans AI chatbots in children's toys for three years.

HB2637, known as the Artificial Intelligence Chatbots in Children's Toys Temporary Prohibition Act, prohibits the manufacture, distribution, sale, lease, or offer for sale or lease of children's toys with AI chatbots for three years. This ban does not apply to toys with AI providing only scripted, prewritten, or predetermined output. The act defines "children's toy" as a product for children under 14. Violations are considered unfair trade practices under the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, allowing the Attorney General to enforce the ban. The act takes effect immediately.
