Senior Chatbot Protection Act of 2026

This bill sets rules for companies that offer AI chatbots to people in the United States. Chatbots would have to tell users they are not human, not claim to be licensed professionals, and give warnings when users seek help with major health, legal, estate, or money decisions. Chatbots would have to detect signs of a crisis, such as suicidal thoughts, and refer users to help like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Companies would face limits on keeping and sharing conversation data, would have to let users delete chat history, and would file yearly reports on serious incidents. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general could enforce the rules, with fines of up to $50,000 per knowing or reckless violation.
