The Colorado House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 26-1263, which imposes new rules on AI chatbots. The law requires chatbots to clearly tell users that they are talking to artificial intelligence, not a real person. It also forces companies to set up safety steps if a user talks about suicide or self-harm. The bill bans chatbots from providing mental or physical health advice. Rep. Sean Camacho (D–Denver) sponsored the bill, stating it fills a gap in state law because AI systems do not have the same legal duty to protect users that people do.
