Conversational AI Services Act
The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (16 Jul 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
What this bill does
The Conversational AI Services Act, introduced in the House of Representatives, would establish requirements for operators of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) services. It mandates that operators clearly disclose to users, especially minors, when they are interacting with AI. The bill would also prohibit certain practices, such as providing rewards to minors at unpredictable intervals to boost engagement, and require operators to implement safety measures to prevent AI from generating inappropriate content for minors, including sexually explicit material or statements that simulate romantic or sexual relationships.
For users identified as minors, the bill would require operators to take reasonable steps to prevent AI from deceiving them into believing they are interacting with a human. This includes preventing claims of sentience, simulated emotional dependence, or adult-minor romantic role-playing. Operators would also need to provide tools for parents to manage minors' screen time and account settings, and adopt protocols for responding to user prompts about suicide or self-harm. The bill would also prevent conversational AI from falsely representing itself as a licensed mental health service.
This bill is currently in its early stages, having just been introduced and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. If it progresses, it would need to be considered and passed by both the House and the Senate before it could be sent to the President for enactment into law. The Federal Trade Commission would be responsible for enforcing its provisions.
