S. 4199 — Youth AI Privacy Act
Privacy & Civil Liberties
What it does
This bill requires AI chatbot companies to tell minors they're talking to a machine (not a human), prohibits addictive design features like notifications and reward badges, bans personalized advertising and data-driven profiling of minors, and restricts how long companies can retain and use a minor's personal data to train AI systems. Parents can sue companies that violate these rules, and the FTC will enforce the law.
Quorum's transparency scan gave Youth AI Privacy Act a moderate transparency flag.
