- The use of chatbots has exploded over the last two years, and people are increasingly turning to them for mental health advice.
- SB 903 would ban advertising chatbots as therapy and add rules for AI use in formal health spaces.
AI bots cannot be and should not be licensed mental health care practitioners, so existing licensing laws should be enforced.
