Plain-language summary
This bill sets rules for companies that offer AI-powered mental health chatbots to Kentucky consumers. It would require those companies to clearly disclose that users are interacting with artificial intelligence, restrict how personal health information can be used, and limit certain advertising practices. The Attorney General would have the authority to enforce these protections. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who use AI chatbot tools for mental health support, and the companies that provide those tools.
