This bill proposes to add a new Chapter 8 to Title 18 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, focusing on regulations surrounding conversational artificial intelligence (AI) services. It introduces definitions for key terms such as "account holder," "conversational AI service," "minor," and "operator," while also establishing specific requirements for operators of these services. For instance, operators must disclose to minor account holders that they are interacting with AI, implement measures to prevent inappropriate content, and provide tools for managing privacy settings. Additionally, operators are required to have protocols for responding to user prompts related to suicidal ideation or self-harm.

The bill also outlines penalties for violations, including civil penalties of up to $500,000 per operator, and clarifies that it does not create a private right of action for individuals. Furthermore, it specifies that developers of AI models are not liable for violations committed by third-party systems. The new regulations would take effect on September 30, 2027, if the bill becomes law.
