Adam Schiff said "It is essential that we institute commonsense guardrails on the use of AI chatbots by children and teenagers that empower parents' ability to protect their kids. In California and across the country, we have seen firsthand the tragic consequences of quickly evolving AI chatbots which, in the worst cases, have encouraged self-harm, emotional dependency, violence, and exploitation of the youngest Americans. This moment demands action to protect children’s health and safety online, and I’m proud to join Senators Cruz, Schatz, and Curtis in introducing this bipartisan legislation as a first step towards that goal." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
