It excludes internal business support, customer service chatbots, and video game chatbots, provided they do not establish emotional attachments or companionship.<\/li>\n<li>For in-scope chatbots, there are disclosure requirements: informing users they are interacting with AI at every three hours (every hour for minors).<\/li>\n<li>Companies must implement protection measures for users, including referrals to crisis resources and disclosures about these measures on their websites. Chatbots must also not portray themselves as licensed healthcare providers.<\/li>\n<li>Special requirements protect minors, including giving parents control over their children\u2019s chatbot interactions and preventing the chatbot from prompting minors for companionship or excessive praise.<\/li>\n<li>There is no private right of action; the Georgia Attorney General will enforce the law, with the authority to provide a 30-day cure period and to issue rules and guidance.<\/li>\n<li>Companies should assess whether their chatbots fall under the law and test their functionality to ensure compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Passes Artificial Intelligence Companion Law https:\/\/natlawreview.com\/article\/georgia-joins-other-states-regulating-ai-companions Publish Date: 2026-05-20 17:33:00 Source Domain: natlawreview.com Georgia&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":217571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/natlawreview.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/article_image\/public\/2026-05\/Georgia%20legislation%20law%20legal%20system%20bigstock%20110965211_0.jpg.webp?itok=ngX0YGDb","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-217569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217569"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217569"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217573,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217569\/revisions\/217573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
