Multistate actions Maryland's attorney general joined
- Letter from 42 attorneys general on sycophantic and delusional AI December 9, 2025
Joining a letter or court filing is not a lawsuit or a finding against any company.
Other Maryland laws that may matter
- Consumer protection law: Maryland Consumer Protection Act (Md. Code, Com. Law section 13-101 et seq.). It applies to businesses generally, not to chatbots specifically; whether it reaches a particular chatbot practice is a legal question.
- Consumer privacy law: Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 (Md. Code, Com. Law sections 14-4601 through 14-4614), in effect from October 1, 2025. It sets rules for personal data, which can include what people type into a chatbot, for businesses that meet its thresholds.
What still applies
Without a state chatbot law, companies serving Maryland residents may still face other states' laws when they serve users there, general consumer protection law and federal rules. Congress is considering 13 chatbot bills; see federal bills.
