Comment by Letitia James

I am proud to support Senator Gonzalez's bill to protect New York's kids from the harms of chatbots. There is already overwhelming evidence that too many of our children are being exposed to inappropriate and dangerous content while using chatbots, and this bill provides critical safety protections against those harms as the AI landscape continues developing in New York.

AI Verified Verified. The NYSenate press release titled "State Senator Kristen Gonzalez Introduces Bill to Protect Minors from AI Chatbots, in partnership with Attorney General Letitia James," dated January 29, 2026, contains this statement verbatim and explicitly attributes it to "New York State Attorney General Letitia James said" (line 67). The user-provided text matches aside from normal typographic apostrophe/quote styling.

AI Verified Quote attributed to New York Attorney General Letitia James from a NY Senate press release (2026) about Senator Kristen Gonzalez's bill (S9051) to protect minors from AI chatbots. The nysenate.gov URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but a web search confirms the quote verbatim: James said "I am proud to support Senator Gonzalez's bill to protect New York's kids from the harms of chatbots..." developed in partnership with her office and Common Sense Media. Author attribution and year (2026) are correct. Both votes align correctly: "for" on "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18" (the bill prohibits AI chatbots with unsafe features from serving minors) and "for" on "Requiring age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors" (the bill provides critical safety protections for children using chatbots). Both reflect James's expressed support for protecting minors from chatbot harms. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 18d ago
