To require artificial intelligence chatbot providers to provide data privacy and security, and for other purposes.
Key claim: HR9619 would require artificial intelligence chatbot providers to implement data privacy and security protections for users.
Abstract
(HR9619 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-09): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why this matters
HR9619 signals congressional movement toward product-category-specific AI regulation, singling out chatbots for data privacy and security duties rather than relying on horizontal frameworks. For developers and platforms, this would create compliance obligations tied to conversational AI’s unique data-collection profile (user prompts, conversation histories, potentially sensitive disclosures); for users, it would formalize baseline protections currently governed only by general privacy law and platform terms.
