- What do the new AI companion laws require?
Two things matter right now. California SB 243 is LAW and has been since 1 January 2026: it requires an operator to disclose that a companion is not human and to refer users expressing suicidal ideation to crisis services. The federal GUARD Act is NOT law: it was advanced unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee on 30 April 2026 and awaits the full Senate. If it passes as drafted it would require real age verification and bar under-18s from AI companions entirely.
