South Dakota SB168 aims to regulate the use of chatbots by minors by prohibiting deployers from making certain chatbots available to minors. Specifically, chatbots designed, optimized, or marketed as AI-companions or those with human-like features cannot be marketed to minors. Deployers must implement age verification systems for such chatbots. Therapy chatbots can be made available to minors if they meet specific conditions, including being assessed by a licensed mental health professional, providing disclaimers, and having robust clinical trial data.
