Businesses would have to display a clear notice when consumers are interacting with AI rather than a human.

What it does

Requires AI operators to display notifications when consumers interact with AI systems. Addresses deceptive business practices related to undisclosed AI use.

Analyst read

Generative-AI warning-label bill assigned to committee only 9 days before deadline and was bounced back without a hearing — a typical sign the chair did not prioritize it. Effectively dead this session unless attached as a floor amendment to a related consumer-protection vehicle.
