Require AI chatbots to identify themselves as not human

What the petition asks
It should be illegal for Artificial Intelligence to pretend to be human. AI chatbots should be required to identify themselves as not human.
In 2018 California passed a law requiring chatbots to identify as not human. A similar law should be passed in the UK.
We believe allowing AI to pretend to be human could increase the risk for scams, and be used to influence elections, and more, and leave people feeling vulnerable.
