U.S. Sens. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, and Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, introduced a Senate bill on June 14 that would eliminate special protections for artificial intelligence (AI) companies that are currentl afforded to online computer services providers under the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA).

Section 230 refers to text found in Title 47, Section 230 of the CDA. It specifically grants protection to online service providers from liability for content posted by users. It also gives providers immunity from prosecution for illegal content, provided good faith efforts are made to take down such content upon discovery.
