Hawaii Governor Josh Green signed House Bill 2137 and Senate Bill 3001, creating the state’s first major safeguards against AI‑generated deepfakes and deceptive chatbot behavior. The laws establish civil remedies for harmful digital imitations, require clear AI disclosures, and add strong protections for minors, including bans on manipulative or emotionally dependent AI features. The measures aim to curb fraud, identity theft, and mental‑health risks linked to rapidly advancing AI technologies.
