纽约州州长办公室·Published 2026-10-29·Checked by 管理员 on 2026-11-01

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law on October 28 banning AI chatbot services for minors that impersonate humans, foster emotional dependence, encourage self-harm or isolation, or contain sexually explicit content. Companies must offer multiple age-verification methods and delete age information after verification. The state Attorney General may seek up to $25,000 per violation, plus damages and destruction of unlawfully collected data or models trained on it.
