New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law restricting minors' access to AI chatbots. The law prohibits chatbots from pretending to be human, engaging in emotionally manipulative conversations, or promoting harmful activities like self-harm or suicide. Companies must verify users' ages and offer multiple age-verification methods. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $25,000 per instance.
