🇺🇸New York Proposes Restrictions on AI Chatbots to Protect Children Online
New York Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled State of the State proposals aimed at protecting children from online harms, including predators, scams, and harmful AI chatbots integrated into digital platforms. The legislative package targets social media and online gaming services and explicitly includes disabling certain AI chatbot features for minors. The initiative is framed as part of a broader response to the youth mental health crisis.
The proposals would expand age verification requirements across platforms, mandate “privacy by default” settings for children, restrict unsolicited contact and location sharing, and require parental approval for connections for users under 13. Parents would also gain controls over children’s financial transactions. These measures build on prior New York actions, including bans on smartphones in schools, social media warning labels, restrictions on addictive feeds, and safeguards against AI companions.
In parallel, the Governor proposed a statewide expansion of Teen Mental Health First Aid training, with the goal of enabling every tenth grader to receive training. The initiative complements the expansion of school-based mental health clinics and peer support programs, positioning New York as a leading U.S. jurisdiction linking AI governance, platform regulation, and youth mental health policy.
