While our AI development agenda should seek to innovate and break barriers, it must also protect children from addictive and manipulative technology. The GUARD Act is a critical step to draw lines in the sand with Big Tech and ensure that minors are protected from chatbots that mimic romantic and social companionship. Parents and policymakers alike need to ground our children's development in real-world interactions rather than push them further into the unaccountable black hole of frontier technology.
