The FTC would have to make these resources public within 180 days of the bill becoming law, working with other federal agencies. The resources would cover how to tell safe from unsafe chatbot use, privacy and data collection practices, and best practices for parents supervising minors' chatbot use. The FTC would model the resources on its existing Youville program.
