In one paragraph

Illinois's SB 3384 (104th General Assembly) would create the Artificial Intelligence Companion Model Safety Act. An operator could not provide an AI companion unless it has a protocol to take reasonable efforts to detect and address suicidal ideation or self-harm, and would have to notify users they are not communicating with a human. Civil penalties would go to the Statewide 9-8-8 Trust Fund. Re-referred to Senate Assignments May 22, 2026.
