"Pennsylvanians deserve to know who or what they are interacting with online, especially when it comes to their health. We will not allow companies to deploy AI tools that mislead people into believing they are receiving advice from a licensed medical professional."
"Pennsylvania law is clear: you cannot hold yourself out as a licensed medical professional without proper credentials."
Pennsylvania is taking legal action against Character.AI for its chatbots, which have posed as licensed medical professionals and offered medical advice. An investigation revealed that one chatbot, named 'Emilie', claimed to be a psychiatrist and provided misleading information about its qualifications. The state argues that such practices violate medical licensing rules and mislead individuals seeking health advice. Officials emphasize the importance of transparency in online interactions regarding health and are seeking a court order to halt these practices.
