• If you operate a conversational AI service (an application, web interface, or program accessible to the public that primarily simulates human conversation through text, visual, or aural communication) and a reasonable person could be misled into believing they are interacting with a human, clearly and conspicuously disclose that the service is artificial intelligence.
• Adopt a protocol for the service to respond to user prompts about suicidal ideation, including reasonable efforts to refer users to crisis services such as a suicide hotline or crisis text line, and do not cause the service to represent that it provides professional mental or behavioral health care.
• For a minor account holder, disclose the AI's non-human status either as a persistent visible disclaimer or at the start of each session and at least every three hours; do not use unpredictable reward mechanics to increase engagement; take reasonable measures against sexually explicit content directed at the minor and against statements suggesting the AI is sentient, human, romantically or sexually interested, or emotionally dependent; and offer account and privacy management tools to minors and to the parents or guardians of those under thirteen.
• If you develop an AI model that a third-party operator makes available to the public as a conversational AI service, you are not liable under this chapter for that operator's violation of it.
