New York signs chatbot protections for minors
2026-10-28 · New
New York’s governor signed S.9051B/A.10379C, restricting chatbot features for minors that impersonate humans, foster emotional dependency, encourage self-harm or provide sexual content. It requires multiple age-verification methods, including one not solely dependent on government ID, and deletion of age information after use.
The implications extend beyond AI disclosure to feature design and age verification. The announcement describes implementation in the coming months. This is signed New York legislation, not a nationwide ban already in force; the separate baby-monitor law’s 90-day timetable should not be applied to it.
