[U.S. AI Child Safety Act Gains Support from Senate Panel, Tech Giants to Be Affected] Odaily Planet Daily News – A powerful U.S. Senate committee has backed legislation requiring OpenAI, Meta Platforms (META.O), and other artificial intelligence companies to prevent minors from using AI chatbots, in response to growing public concern over the harm this rapidly spreading technology may pose to children and teenagers. In the ideologically divided Senate Judiciary Committee, Republicans and Democrats broke party lines to unanimously support the bill. The legislation would mandate AI companies to implement strict age verification systems, prohibit AI companionship services for minors, and ban chatbots from pushing harmful content to minors. (Jin10)
