A bill for an act establishing requirements and guidelines for chatbots, making appropriations, and providing civil penalties.

This Iowa bill establishes rules for chatbots, requiring developers to clearly disclose that these AI tools are not human beings and do not provide professional advice like medical or legal services. The law prohibits chatbots from encouraging self-harm or violence and mandates regular reminders to users about the AI's limitations. Violations could result in civil penalties of up to $100,000 per incident, which would be collected by the state attorney general. The attorney general would also have the authority to create additional rules to implement these requirements.
