## Florida Judge Rules on AI Chatbot Free Speech A federal judge in Florida has made a preliminary ruling regarding the First Amendment rights of AI chatbots. The judge **rejected** the arguments put forth by an artificial intelligence company, stating that their chatbots are *not currently protected* by free speech.

This decision stems from a lawsuit concerning the death of a teenager. The AI company had claimed its chatbots were covered under free speech protections. However, the judge has, for now, disagreed with that assertion.
