This bill would set 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, limit how personal health information can be used, and restrict advertising within those tools. The Kentucky Attorney General would be empowered to enforce these protections. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who use AI chatbot apps or services for mental health support, and companies that provide those tools.
