Maine - Session 132
Title: An Act to Regulate and Prevent Children's Access to Artificial Intelligence Chatbots with Human-like Features and Social Artificial Intelligence Companions
This bill would establish strong protections against unethical and unsafe use of artificial intelligence in clinical settings, ensuring that licensed professionals deliver mental health care. It would add consumer protections for users of unregulated so-called mental health chatbots that use artificial intelligence technology for clients seeking services, which would include disclosure obligations. It would regulate the practice of chatbots' providing nonclinical advice by setting guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in mental health treatment.
