Summary
Creates a felony for knowingly developing or distributing AI specifically designed to promote self-harm, with the required intent or knowledge. The wider act also addresses synthetic sexual material, criminal liability and limited developer immunity.
Healthcare Implications
Adds a targeted self-harm safety restriction relevant to mental-health-facing AI developers and distributors. User-prompted output alone without developer intent is excepted, as are legitimate licensed medical or therapeutic services and other listed activities. It creates no general crisis-response protocol.
Operational Implications
- None
