Adopt the Agricultural Data Privacy Act and the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act

View primary source →

Nebraska LB 525 (approved by the Governor April 14, 2026) adopts two separate acts. Sections 12 through 18 create the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act, which regulates publicly accessible artificial intelligence applications that primarily simulate human conversation, and which is directed principally at minors. Section 14 requires an operator to clearly and conspicuously disclose to each minor account holder that they are interacting with artificial intelligence, either as a persistent visible disclaimer or both at the beginning of each session and at least every three hours during a continuous interaction; prohibits providing minors points or similar rewards at unpredictable intervals intended to encourage increased engagement; requires reasonable measures to prevent the service from producing visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct, statements that the minor should engage in sexually explicit conduct, or statements that sexually objectify the minor; requires reasonable measures to prevent statements that would lead a reasonable person to believe they are interacting with a human, including explicit claims of sentience, statements simulating emotional dependence, romantic or sexual innuendo, and role-playing of adult-minor romantic relationships; and requires privacy and account management tools for minor account holders and, for those younger than thirteen, their parents or guardians. Section 15 requires disclosure to any user who would reasonably be misled into believing the service is human. Section 16 requires operators to adopt a protocol for responding to user prompts regarding suicidal ideation or self-harm that makes reasonable efforts to refer the user to crisis services such as a suicide hotline or crisis text line. Section 17 prohibits an operator from knowingly and intentionally programming the service to represent that it is designed to provide professional mental or behavioral health care. Section 18 vests enforcement in the Attorney General. The act excludes developer and research tools, narrow-topic systems, business-internal and customer-service applications, and voice-command assistants. Sections 1 through 10 separately adopt the Agricultural Data Privacy Act, governing the collection and processing of agricultural data linked to identifiable producers.
