内容总结：

美国两党参议员近日联合提出《保障未成年人数字真实与安全法案》，旨在加强对人工智能聊天机器人的监管。该法案要求AI企业必须对用户进行年龄验证，禁止18岁以下未成年人使用聊天机器人服务，并强制AI每隔30分钟向用户声明其非人类身份。

根据法案规定，AI公司需通过上传政府身份证件或面部扫描等合理方式核实用户年龄。同时，法案明确禁止向未成年人提供涉及色情内容或宣扬自杀的聊天服务，违者将面临刑事和民事处罚。提案议员指出，此举是针对科技企业长期将利润置于儿童安全之上的现状所采取的强制监管措施。

该立法提案的提出，恰逢多起未成年人使用AI聊天机器人引发安全事件的听证会结束后，反映出立法者对人工智能技术潜在风险的持续关注。目前美国多个州已开始推进类似立法，加州近期通过的AI安全法案亦包含禁止AI冒充人类等条款。

一项新法案可能要求人工智能公司对所有使用聊天机器人的用户进行年龄验证。据美国全国广播公司新闻网此前报道，密苏里州共和党参议员乔什·霍利与康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔于本周二联合提交《未成年人人工智能防护法案》，该法案还将禁止所有18岁以下人群使用AI聊天机器人。

参议员提议禁止青少年使用AI聊天机器人
新规将强制要求AI公司对用户进行18周岁以上年龄验证。
数周前，未成年人保护倡导者与家长群体刚出席参议院听证会，呼吁关注AI聊天机器人对儿童产生的影响。根据该法案，AI公司必须要求用户上传身份证件，或通过面部扫描等"合理"方式进行年龄验证。

法案要求AI聊天机器人每隔30分钟需声明自身非人类身份，并设置防护机制防止其冒充人类——这与加州近期通过的AI安全法案类似。同时，该法案还将运营生成未成年人色情内容或宣扬自杀的聊天机器人列为违法行为。

布卢门撒尔在向《边缘》杂志提供的声明中表示："我们的立法建立了严格防护措施，打击具有剥削性或操纵性的人工智能，并配套以包含刑事与民事处罚的强力执法手段。当科技巨头屡次将利润置于儿童安全之上时，他们已丧失任何要求我们信任企业自律的资格。"

A new piece of legislation could require AI companies to verify the ages of everyone who uses their chatbots. Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the GUARD Act on Tuesday, which would also ban everyone under 18 from accessing AI chatbots, as reported earlier by NBC News.
Senators propose banning teens from using AI chatbots
The new rules would force AI companies to verify whether users are over 18.
The new rules would force AI companies to verify whether users are over 18.
The bill comes just weeks after safety advocates and parents attended a Senate hearing to call attention to the impact of AI chatbots on kids. Under the legislation, AI companies would have to verify ages by requiring users to upload their government ID or provide validation through another “reasonable” method, which might include something like face scans.
AI chatbots would be required to disclose that they aren’t human at 30-minute intervals under the bill. They would also have to include safeguards that prevent them from claiming that they are a human, similar to an AI safety bill recently passed in California. The bill would make it illegal to operate a chatbot that produces sexual content for minors or promotes suicide, too.
“Our legislation imposes strict safeguards against exploitative or manipulative AI, backed by tough enforcement with criminal and civil penalties,” Blumenthal says in a statement provided to The Verge. “Big Tech has betrayed any claim that we should trust companies to do the right thing on their own when they consistently put profit first ahead of child safety.”
