New Mexico Aims to Regulate Social Media and AI Technologies

New Mexico is seeking to transform a $942 million court ruling against Meta Platforms into broader legislation to regulate social media platforms and AI technologies. Attorney General Raúl Torrez is collaborating with lawmakers to draft two bills aimed at enhancing child safety and consumer protection, focusing on AI services and chatbots. The ruling includes fines totaling $942 million, with five-year reforms that tighten communication controls between adults and minors, improve age estimation methods, and regulate chatbot interactions with children.
