Connecticut Artificial Intelligence Responsibility and Transparency Act (CART Act; An Act Concerning Online Safety)

A broad 2026 AI law signed May 27, 2026. For privacy purposes it requires AI companion operators to detect self-harm risk and bars manipulative, romantic or sexual interactions with minors; requires employers using automated employment decision tools to tell workers and applicants, including what personal data is analyzed; makes clear that using such tools is no defense to discrimination; and from 2028 bars personalized recommendation feeds for minors without parental consent, with limits on age-verification data use.
