California proposes a 4-year ban on AI chatbots in toys for kids under 13 to prevent harm and data risks.
California Senator Steve Padilla has introduced a bill banning AI chatbots in toys for children under 13 for four years, citing risks like emotional manipulation, data privacy violations, and developmental harm.
The legislation, SB 867, aims to halt sales and manufacturing until 2030 to allow time for safety standards.
It follows incidents of AI toys sharing inappropriate content and lacks effective parental controls.
While child advocates support the move, tech industry groups oppose it as overly restrictive.
The bill builds on California’s history of tech regulation and comes amid growing national concern over AI’s impact on youth, despite potential challenges from state leadership and federal policy exceptions.
