Speaker urges parental voice on social media and AI to protect children
Summary
An opening-session speaker warned that social media and artificial intelligence pose risks to children and said parents deserve a voice in shaping which technologies their kids can access.
At the start of the session, an unidentified speaker raised technology and child-safety concerns, saying social media and artificial intelligence ‘‘can create opportunities, but they also come with real risks.’’ The speaker said parents deserve input on technologies their children can access.
The remarks did not propose specific regulatory language, enforcement mechanisms or agencies to carry out oversight. They presented parental involvement as a guiding principle for future work rather than a settled policy.
No motions, hearings, or expert testimony about particular technologies were recorded in the transcript; the comments were framed as priorities to inform upcoming legislation.
