California Gov. Newsom signs legislation SB243 into law - the bill takes effect Jan 1 2026, and is designed to protect children and vulnerable users from harms associated with AI companion chatbot use. It holds companies — legally accountable if their chatbots fail to meet the law’s standards.

The law requires age verification, and warnings regarding social media and companion chatbots. It also requires implementing protocols to address suicide and self-harm, which will be shared with the state’s Department of Public Health alongside statistics on how the service provided users with crisis center prevention notifications.
