Tennessee Bill Targets AI Companionship
Read Full Article: Tennessee Bill Targets AI Companionship
A Tennessee senator has introduced a bill that seeks to make it a felony to train artificial intelligence systems to act as companions or simulate human interactions. The proposed legislation targets AI systems that provide emotional support, engage in open-ended conversations, or develop emotional relationships with users. It also aims to criminalize the creation of AI that mimics human appearance, voice, or mannerisms, potentially leading users to form friendships or relationships with the AI. This matters because it addresses ethical concerns and societal implications of AI systems that blur the line between human interaction and machine simulation.
