Comment by Imran Ahmed
CEO and Founder, Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)
No society should build machines that can meet a child in their loneliest moment and offer them harm as if it were help. [...] Social media broadcasts to billions, AI whispers to one.

Source URL on digitaljournal.com returns 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirms the exact quote text from Imran Ahmed (CEO of Center for Countering Digital Hate) at the Cambridge Disinformation Summit in April 2026. Multiple corroborating sources (TechXplore, Startup News, KTBS, Mountain Press, Canadian Affairs) carry the same wording and attribution. Both votes "for" align directly: (1) banning AI companion chatbots for minors and (2) requiring age verification/content safeguards for AI chatbots — both flow naturally from Ahmed's warning that AI "whispers to one" and meets children in their "loneliest moment" with harm disguised as help. Verified.
