Recently, California State Senator Steve Padilla has introduced a new bill. This bill is intended to prohibit the production and sale of AI chatbot - equipped toys specifically designed for minors within the next four - year period. The move is to buy time to enhance child protection mechanisms. In the past year, families have initiated lawsuits against relevant companies. These lawsuits stem from unfortunate incidents where their children's interactions with chatbots led to negative outcomes, which has spurred legislators into taking action. Moreover, the AI toy project that OpenAI and Mattel originally planned to launch in 2025 has been put on hold. Padilla strongly advises parents not to allow their children to become guinea pigs for tech companies. His proposal has brought a fresh and intense focus to the ongoing discussions on child safety issues.
