GUARD Act (S.3062) introduced in Senate establishing requirements and limitations on publicly available AI chatbots

S.3062, the 'GUARD Act', was introduced in the 119th Congress (Senate). The bill establishes requirements for and limitations on entities that provide publicly available artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, including AI chatbot providers, and would impose obligations governing how such public-facing chatbots operate.

Would create direct federal obligations on public-facing AI chatbot providers (transparency/safety duties for consumer-facing chatbots). It is part of a larger wave of congressional AI bills and signals federal appetite for regulating consumer chatbots in the absence of a comprehensive federal AI statute.

Track the bill's committee referral and any markup; chat bot/consumer-AI providers should monitor for reporting and design obligations. Note it sits alongside other introduced bills (FRONTIER Act, AI Kill Switch Act, AI Cyber Defense Act) already reported in earlier cycles.
