Utah

Utah relies on a light-touch AI Policy Act (generative-AI disclosure in consumer and regulated-occupation settings, plus a state 'Learning Lab' sandbox) and a mental-health-chatbot law; 2026 bills on AI transparency and companion chatbots failed after White House opposition.

  • Utah mental-health chatbot law
    LawUtah Legislature / GovernorBinding

    Regulates generative-AI 'mental health chatbots': requires clear disclosures that the user is talking to AI, bans selling or sharing users' individually identifiable health information, restricts advertising during conversations, and sets documentation and written-policy expectations. Suppliers that maintain the required documentation and file a compliant written policy with the Division of Consumer Protection gain an affirmative defense to claims of unlicensed practice of mental health therapy.
