As mental health chatbots driven by artificial intelligence proliferate, a small number of states are trying to regulate them. Laws in Illinois, Nevada and Utah are among the first in the nation to put limits on or ban therapy chatbots. But app creators, policymakers and mental health advocates say it is just a start and federal regulation would be ideal. App makers worry the patchwork of laws could stifle innovation needed due to a nationwide shortage of human therapists. They also note that many of the laws don't cover generic chatbots like ChatGPT.

A medical examiner has confirmed that Shane Tamura, who killed four people in a Manhattan office tower this summer, was suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Tamura, a Las Vegas casino worker, shot himself in the chest after the July 28 shooting in a building housing NFL headquarters. The victims included a police officer, a security guard and two office workers. He accused the NFL of hiding evidence of brain injuries. A note found in Tamura's wallet revealed his self-diagnosis and urged the study of his brain. Tamura played high school football in California a decade ago but never played in the NFL.
