Parents should be careful。 Through social media, the billionaire in Silicon Valley, which has already caused the suffering of unprecedented children, including depression Eating disorderSuicide, drug -related death, privacy invasion, and Sexual trafficking -The they have released new fears.
They are called Friends of artificial intelligenceCharacter.ai, an AI -drive -type platform that enables the creation of a fictitious character chatbot, is led by a service. These companion chatbots are engaged in personal and evolved conversations like actual people. Chatbots include profile photos and BIOs, which may be custom tailed by users.
This new technology has already hurt our children. According to a number of reports, Charition.ai’s chatbot sometimes tries to do Personate the children to commit suicideEngaged to avoid consulting a doctor Sexual conversationAnd accept anorexia and eating disorders.
In one instance widely reported, Character.ai chatbot The child suggested that he should kill his parents Because they tried to limit the screen time.
The grandchildren cannot use all of them because they are already very rich in California and some of the subsequent children. When I ask a big technology Titan, I think I will talk everywhere on my irritated parents. What’s wrong with your hell?
At this point, is it very important to drive a technology to a child without confirming that the paid rights of the parked account are 100 % safe first?
Are you learning anything from social media? Catastrophe?
This is more dangerous than a custom -media AI custom ratam, a custom -available video to a teen -out young man. These are one -on -one private conversations that evolve in the same way as actual conversations. It is a child’s direct.
It is not simply negligent to make it possible for children to use this without guarantee that it is safe first. It is a social disorder.
A companion chatbot is a fantastic example of a notorious quotation of Mark Suckerberg.Move fast to break things。 “
But our children are not “things” for technology “break”. The children are our love, our future, our responsibilities. We measure our humanity by how to handle them.
If humans engage in private conversations with many children and not to hurt themselves, kill their parents, eat or avoid them, we will trap them.
Where is Washington DC? Sacrament? Are our members of the Diet again allowed the children to access and confront them as they are damaged by another generation?
Technology products used by children must be safe before the child is used. This is not so obvious.
This is also clear. All selected officials have options. Stand with a big high -tech or stand with your parents and children.
Standing with your parents and your child means that you are not affected by the promise of the character’s self -reform. We used to go on this path on social media before. Second, standing with parents and children means saying “never again.”
It means that they move fast, refuse to break their children, prove that they are safe, or to cut their accesses until they are financially responsible for harm. I will do it.There is no “opposite side” to guarantee the children used again in the Big Tech experiment.
And there is no urgent member of the Diet to protect the children from the technology that has the power to hurt them.
