Multistate actions North Carolina's attorney general joined
- Attorneys general filing in the Character.AI bankruptcy October 14, 2026
- 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.
Chatbot bills that stalled
These North Carolina bills were introduced but had not passed a chamber when we checked on October 28, 2026. We list them for reference; they are not law.
- S 624 (2025): AI Chatbots - Licensing/Safety/Privacy. Referred to the Senate Rules Committee on March 26, 2025.
Other North Carolina laws that may matter
- Consumer protection law: North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. section 75-1.1). It applies to businesses generally, not to chatbots specifically; whether it reaches a particular chatbot practice is a legal question.
The 2027 legislative session
The North Carolina Legislature convenes on January 13, 2027. New chatbot bills will be added to our 2027 tracker as they are filed.
What still applies
Without a state chatbot law, companies serving North Carolina 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.
