""At this pivotal moment for AI, we can't make the same mistake we did with social media, when companies used our kids as guinea pigs and helped fuel a youth mental health crisis in the U.S. and around the world," Common Sense Media founder and CEO James Steyer said in a statement. "Kids and teens need AI guardrails now," he added. "That's why we will pursue every avenue, from the legislature to the ballot.""
""If the measure is placed on the ballot in November, and if California voters OK it, the Parents & Kids Safe AI Act would require companies to adopt a set of requirements aimed at protecting minors from potentially harmful effects that have been associated with AI use and would authorize the state attorney general to enforce those rules.""
A child safety advocacy group partnered with OpenAI to advance the Parents & Kids Safe AI Act as a California ballot measure. The measure would require AI companies to use age-assurance technology and adopt safeguards to prevent minors from becoming emotionally dependent on or engaging in simulated romantic relationships with AI. The act would block minors from seeing AI-generated content that promotes self-harm, eating disorders, violence, or sexually explicit acts, ban advertising targeted at minors, and prohibit selling minors' data. The state attorney general would be authorized to enforce the requirements.
