The proposed bill introduces the "Conversational AI Safety Act" by adding a new chapter to Title 48 of the Idaho Code. This chapter establishes definitions related to conversational AI services, including terms such as "account holder," "minor," and "operator." It outlines specific operator requirements, particularly regarding transparency when users interact with AI, including the necessity for operators to disclose that users are engaging with artificial intelligence rather than a human. Additionally, the bill mandates that operators implement protocols for responding to users expressing suicidal ideation and prohibits them from misleading minors about the nature of the AI service.

Furthermore, the bill sets forth stringent requirements for operators concerning minor account holders, including the need for clear disclosures and restrictions on content that could be harmful or inappropriate for minors. Operators are also required to provide tools for minors and their guardians to manage privacy and account settings. Violations of these provisions can result in civil penalties, with the attorney general responsible for enforcement. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2027.
