Jared Moore

But would I ban it for minors? There are many positive uses that we can imagine for kids with chatbots, and my concern is just the kind of “yes to this, no to that” world we can get into with bans.

[🇺🇸 Congress, Oct 2025] Requiring age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors

We urge regulations that, first, address those things that we found in our research that ensure chatbot design reduces or prevents AI sycophancy and parasocial relationships. We should regulate chatbots, especially for minors.
