California bill would limit AI chatbots from acting as therapists

The proposal is aimed at “placing guardrails” on AI chatbot behavior before it can provide mental health treatment.

Decrypt reports that a California bill is headed toward an Assembly vote that would place limits on what AI chatbots are allowed to do in mental health settings.

The measure is intended to prevent chatbots from acting as therapists, with a focus on adding “guardrails” around how AI systems communicate and respond to users seeking mental health support.
