The AI Warnings And Resources for Education Act (AWARE Act) would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to develop and publicly share educational resources for parents, educators, and minors about the safe and responsible use of AI chatbots by minors. The resources must be ready within 180 days of enactment and are to be developed in consultation with other federal agencies. The material should cover how to identify safe versus unsafe chatbot use, privacy and data collection practices, and best practices for parental supervision. The FTC would model these resources on its Youville program. In short, the bill emphasizes consumer education and digital-privacy awareness for families navigating AI chatbots.
