Linda Lipsen

CEO of the American Association for Justice (AAJ)

As more and more children and teenagers are targeted by dangerous and predatory AI chatbots, it's imperative that Congress take action to protect children and teens online. The GUARD Act would help to protect minors from AI chatbots that target them for coercion and manipulation while ensuring that tech companies are held accountable when they hurt children and families. I thank Representatives Foushee and Moore for their leadership on this important issue
