Account holder

An individual who possesses or creates an account to use a conversational AI service.

How the laws define this

Both instruments agree that an account holder must be an individual connected to an account or profile used for a conversational artificial intelligence service. The shared foundation relies on linking a specific individual to the account or profile required to utilize the conversational AI capabilities. However, the texts diverge in how they establish that relationship. Under Adopt the Agricultural Data Privacy Act and the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act, the term includes any individual who creates or possesses an account or profile, intentionally adopting a broad definition to ensure that any person engaging with the service falls under the protective umbrella of the act. By contrast, A bill for an act establishing requirements and guidelines for conversational AI services, and providing civil penalties, and including applicability provisions focuses on ownership, defining the term simply as the individual to whom the account or profile belongs without referencing the actions of creating, possessing, or engaging with the service.
