Bill introduced in California would ban companies from developing AI systems that pretends to be a human certified as a health provider.
Many people already turn to AI chatbots for mental health support; one of the older offerings, Woebot , has been downloaded by around 1.5 million users.
The bill may have an easier time becoming enshrined in law than the broader AI safety bill introduced by California state Sen. Scott Wiener last year .
The bill has support from some of California ’s health care industry players.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that people are turning to chatbots for therapy.
Chatbots have come a long way since they’re able to engage in plausible-sounding dialogues.
The most serious concern with chatbot therapy is that it could harm to users by offering inappropriate advice.
