NetChoice Director of Policy Patrick Hedger delivered oral testimony and submitted written testimony before the New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee on SB 263.
The bill, while well-intended, would criminalize otherwise lawful speech if the content was produced by an AI chatbot and provided to a minor.
The bill also contains a private right of action with statutory damages that would invite frivolous lawsuits, deterring adoption and deployment of AI systems to the benefit of Granite Staters.
The severity of the bill would also force AI platforms that do serve the state to conduct age verification.
