Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar individuals or companies that deploy AI chatbots from having the chatbot's output, or their marketing or advertising, indicate or imply that they hold a professional license they do not have, or falsely suggest that a licensed human provided or checked the output. Covered professions include finance and insurance, health care and social assistance, legal services, and accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules and issue compliance guidance within 12 months. State officials could sue on behalf of residents, and injured people could sue for actual losses or up to $5,000 per violation, adjusted yearly for inflation.
