    @MTSliveSITUATION EXPLAINED: OpenAI is backing California's companion chatbot bill. • SB 1119, Senator Padilla's bill, amended August 28 and not yet passed. It layers new child safety obligations on top of California's existing companion chatbot law • Operators either verify age or apply the protections to every user • Before releasing a new or substantially modified chatbot, they must document a comprehensive risk assessment, with citations to public benchmarks and any child safety experts consulted • Also required: a crisis response protocol, and parental notification or a streamlined helpline handoff on credible imminent threats • Plus no conversational memory under 16, and independent child safety audits • OpenAI publicly supports it, and notes approvingly that the bill recognizes AI is not social media @theojaffee: "I bet that this will just lead to a lot of platforms saying we're not gonna bother with the legal compliance, we're just gonna ban all minors from using the service. You don't want to ban all humans under the age of 18 from using ChatGPT."

    @FreeSpeech_AICalifornia's revised chatbot bill (SB 1119), which passed and is awaiting action from the Governor, creates a new age-verification regime: developers can either verify everyone's age or subject everyone, minors and adults alike, to the same restrictions. This is clearly the kind of "child-proofing the internet" we've all heard about.
