We want to make sure that kids are okay in the space. But if a kid or a group of kids, or a generation, let's say, is unable to access these types of tools now as they progress exponentially, you're essentially cutting off a huge benefit for them and for the U.S. at large because there's an entire generation that's not going to have the skill set.

Quote by Aden Hizkias (Chamber of Progress) about kids' access to AI tools, 2026. The source_url (Medill News Service, Northwestern) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch. Web search positively confirmed the exact quote — "you're essentially cutting off a huge benefit for them and for the U.S. at large because there's an entire generation that's not going to have the skill set" — attributed to Hizkias in the context of the Senate Judiciary Committee advancing the GUARD Act (bill banning AI companions for minors), April 2026. Author attribution is correct. Year 2026 is current. Vote "against" on statement 416 ("Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18") aligns correctly — Chamber of Progress opposed the ban, arguing it would cut off benefits to youth. Quote is relevant and reflects the whole meaning of the statement.
