Youth AI Privacy Act: New Safety Standards for Chatbots Used by Minors

This act establishes strict safety and privacy rules for AI chatbots used by individuals under 18 to prevent emotional dependency and data misuse. It empowers parents to take legal action against companies that fail to protect their children's digital well-being.
Key points
Mandatory disclosures every 30 minutes stating that the interaction is with AI, not a human.
Ban on addictive features like typing indicators, push notifications, and rewards for frequent use.
Prohibition of targeted advertising and using minors' personal data to train AI models.
Parents and guardians can sue companies for damages if these safety and privacy rules are violated.
