The GUARD Act is even more invasive than other forms of age-verification, requiring that imperfect AV methods "reliably and accurately" determine age. This likely means that government docs are going to be even more central. It freezes your account and chat history if you refuse to upload an ID.

(5) REASONABLE AGE VERIFICATION MEASURE.- The term "reasonable age verification measure" means a method that is authenticated to relate to a user of an artificial intelligence chatbot, such as — (A) a government-issued identification; or (B) any other commercially reasonable method that can reliably and accurately — (i) determine whether a user is an adult; and (i) prevent access by minors to Al companions, as required by section 6.(1) AGE VERIFICATION OF EXISTING ACCOUNTS. - With respect to each user account of an artificial intelligence chatbot that exists as of the effective date of this Act, a covered entity shall — (A) on such date, freeze any such account; (B) in order to restore the functionality of such account, require that the user provide age data that is verifiable using a reasonable age verification process, subject to paragraph (4); and (C) using such age data, classify each user as a minor or an adult. (2) AGE VERIFICATION OF NEW ACCOUNTS. - At the time an individual creates a new user account to use or interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot, a covered entity shall — (A) request age data from the individual; (B) verify the individual's age using a reasonable age verification process, subject to paragraph (4); and (C) using such age data, classify each user as a minor or an adult. (3) PERIODIC AGE VERIFICATION. — A covered entity shall periodically review previously verified user accounts using a reasonable age verification process, subject to paragraph (4), to ensure compliance with this Act.
