children should not use Nomi or any other conversational AI app. Nomi is an adult-only app, and it is strictly against our terms of service for anyone under 18 to use Nomi. Accordingly, we support stronger age gating so long as those mechanisms fully maintain user privacy and anonymity.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly says children/under-18s should not use Nomi or other conversational AI apps, calls Nomi adult-only, and supports stronger age-gating. That clearly supports restricting AI companion/chatbots for minors under 18.

The quote clearly says "children should not use Nomi or any other conversational AI app" and supports "stronger age gating," which supports keeping minors under 18 from using these chatbots.

Verified, with a minor formatting caveat: KQED’s April 30, 2025 article at the provided URL attributes these sentences to Alex Cardinell in lines 165–166. The submitted wording matches the source, but in the article it appears as a quoted clause followed by two adjacent direct-quote sentences, rather than one uninterrupted block quote.

Quote: "children should not use Nomi or any other conversational AI app. Nomi is an adult-only app, and it is strictly against our terms of service for anyone under 18 to use Nomi. Accordingly, we support stronger age gating so long as those mechanisms fully maintain user privacy and anonymity." (Alex Cardinell, 2025). Primary source kqed.org returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching; corroborated via web search. The KQED article "Kids Are Talking to AI Companion Chatbots. Stanford Researchers Say That's a Bad Idea." quotes Alex Cardinell (Founder/CEO of Nomi/Glimpse.ai) with this exact wording. Attribution correct. Year 2025 acceptable. Vote alignment correct: he states children should not use AI companion apps and Nomi is adult-only, supporting "for" on statement 416 "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18," and he explicitly says "we support stronger age gating," supporting "for" on statement 445 "Requiring age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors."
