AI Companions: Community Reflections and Multistakeholder Recommendations

ISO/IEC 27566-1:2025 — Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Age assurance systems — Part 1: Framework
The first international standard for age assurance systems, establishing a technology-neutral framework and shared vocabulary for age-related eligibility decisions. It distinguishes age verification, age estimation, age inference, and successive validation, and describes core system characteristics including functionality, performance, privacy, security, and acceptability.
6(b) Orders to File Special Report Regarding Advertising, Safety, and Data Handling Practices by Companies Offering Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companion Products or Services
The US Federal Trade Commission issued compulsory Section 6(b) orders to seven companies operating consumer-facing AI companion chatbots — Alphabet, Character Technologies, Instagram, Meta Platforms, OpenAI OpCo, Snap, and X.AI — seeking information on how they measure, test, and monitor negative impacts on children and teens. The study covers monetization of user engagement, character development and approval, pre- and post-deployment safety testing, mitigation of negative impacts, disclosures to users and parents, age-based access restrictions, and personal data handling. Section 6(b) studies do not have a specific law enforcement purpose but typically culminate in a public staff report; as of July 2026 no staff report from this inquiry has been published.
IEEE 2089.1-2024 — IEEE Standard for Online Age Verification

Second standard in the 5Rights-based family after IEEE 2089-2021.
