Operators of AI companion systems must provide clear and conspicuous notification at the start of any interaction that the user is not communicating with a human, delivered either verbally or in writing.

After the initial notification, operators must repeat the disclosure at least every three hours during continued AI companion interactions.

AI companions are defined as generative AI systems that retain user information across sessions, ask unprompted emotion-based questions, and sustain ongoing personal dialogues simulating human relationships (intimate, romantic, or platonic).

Violations carry a civil penalty of $15,000 per offense, enforceable through Superior Court or municipal court proceedings.

The bill applies to users within New Jersey engaging with AI companions for personal use.
