Adds reference to:
New Act
815 ILCS 505/2MMMM new
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Artificial Intelligence Companion Model Safety Act. Provides that an operator shall not make available or deploy an artificial intelligence companion unless the artificial intelligence companion maintains and implements a protocol to detect and address suicidal ideation or expressions of self-harm by a user to the artificial intelligence companion. Requires an operator to provide a clear and conspicuous notification to a user, either verbally or in writing, in the language that the user is interacting with the artificial intelligence companion, that the user is communicating with an automated system and not with a human. Provides that an operator shall, for a user that the operator determines to be a minor, or if the operator's artificial intelligence companion is directed to minors, implement reasonable measures to prevent its artificial intelligence companion from generating or producing material that is harmful to minors or directly stating that the minor should engage in conduct that is harmful to minors. Provides that a violation of specified provisions constitutes an unlawful practice under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Specifies that the remedies provided in the Act are cumulative and do not preclude any other lawful civil, administrative, or criminal remedy available under State or federal law, including, but not limited to, product liability actions. Amends the State Finance Act, the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act, and the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make conforming changes. Effective January 1, 2027.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Provides that the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act does not apply to a chatbot that complies with the Artificial Intelligence Companion Model Safety Act and does not provide therapy or psychotherapy services (rather than a chatbot that compiles with the Artificial Intelligence Companion Model Safety Act, if the chatbot does not provide therapy, psychotherapy, or diagnoses by a licensed professional).
