Multistate actions New Jersey's attorney general joined
- Attorneys general filing in the Character.AI bankruptcy October 14, 2026
- Letter from 42 attorneys general on sycophantic and delusional AI December 9, 2025
- Letter from 44 attorneys general to AI companies August 25, 2025
Joining a letter or court filing is not a lawsuit or a finding against any company.
Other New Jersey laws that may matter
- Consumer protection law: New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 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: New Jersey's consumer data privacy law (P.L. 2023, c. 266) (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.4 to 56:8-166.19), in effect from January 15, 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 New Jersey 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.
