Going to be interesting to see where this legislation goes. The timing makes sense: about 30 lawsuits have been filed against chatbot makers, most against ChatGPT maker OpenAI, many alleging harms to children, and more suits are expected soon. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Senator Hawley's GUARD Act is a rinse and repeat of the unconstitutional age verification framework, this time lazily slapped onto AI. Notably different is a mandate to constantly reverify and store personal information, making this more overtly a CCP-style surveillance program.
