California Forces AI To Play Nice or Face Legal Spankings
SB 243 aims to transform California into the Gold Rush state of AI safety regulations—pioneering the first law that requires chatbot overlords to hold mandatory 'safety protocols.'

If chatbots aren’t up to snuff, companies face the legal guillotine—no more dodging responsibility like a caffeine-fueled Silicon Valley ninja. This could mark the dawn of ‘responsible AI era’ where bots must behave or beware, finally giving tech firms something to freak out about besides data breaches.
