AI chatbots can be powerful tools for learning, but right now, millions of children are using them with no guardrails and no guarantee of safety. As a mother, I believe it is our obligation to create a future for our children where AI is safe by design. We've already seen what happens when these platforms go unchecked—and it's devastating.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote is authentic. An official March 26, 2026 press release on Rebecca Bauer-Kahan’s website shows this wording as part of a longer statement attributed to “Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan,” and the same full statement appears in mirrored official releases from Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and Senator Steve Padilla. The text you provided is a verbatim excerpt, not a paraphrase.

Verified via web search. The March 26, 2026 joint press release from Assemblymembers Bauer-Kahan and Wicks plus Senator Padilla on legislation (AB 2023 and SB 1119) to protect children from AI companion chatbots is confirmed by multiple sources (Senator Padilla's office, Bauer-Kahan's office, Wicks's office, Pleasanton Weekly). The specific phrase "As a mother, I believe it is our obligation to create a future for our children where AI is safe by design" is directly attributed to Bauer-Kahan. Author attribution (Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, CA State Assembly) is correct. Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" on statement 445 (about age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors) aligns perfectly — Bauer-Kahan introduced legislation requiring exactly these safeguards. Could not directly fetch the asmdc.org URL (403) but multiple corroborating sources verify the quote.
