Rep. Cockley Joins Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation Press Conference Detailing House Bill 524

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Christine Cockley (D-Columbus) today joined the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation to discuss her bipartisan bill House Bill (HB) 524. This bill would impose penalties for AI models suggesting harming oneself or another.

“This bill is about accountability. It’s about drawing a clear line: innovation cannot come at the expense of human life or children’s safety. By encouraging developers to use a mental health framework when building and training AI, we can ensure our digital spaces continue to be places of learning, curiosity, and connections,” said Rep. Cockley. 

The bill awaits its passage out of committee.
