User Age-Verification and Responsible Dialogue Act: The GFWC Legislation/Public Policy Committee is excited to announce that a Legislative Alert has been distributed which supports legislation urging the passage of the bipartisan Guidelines for User Age-Verification and Responsible Dialogue Act (GUARD Act, H.R. 8623, S. 3062) establishes guardrails by requiring verifiable age checks before access to AI chatbots and prohibiting minors from using AI companions that simulate emotional or romantic attachment. The bill makes it unlawful to design or distribute AI systems that solicit sexual content from minors or promote violence or self-harm. The bill also mandates clear disclosure, so users know they are engaging with a machine – not a real person or professional.
We hope that all members who have registered for the GFWC Legislation Action Center will participate in this process. https://www.votervoice.net/GFWC/Campaigns/137995/Respond
