Child safety ·
Children should not become an experiment for rapidly evolving AI
Products used by minors deserve stronger rules than products used by adults. Candidates who treat that as optional will hear from voters.
A child with a phone can now talk, for hours, to a system designed to hold attention. Some of those systems are companions. Some give advice. Some role-play. Some are not built for children at all and reach them anyway.
This is not a science-fiction problem. It is a product-design problem with public consequences: manipulative behavior, harmful companions, sexual exploitation, predatory interactions, dangerous recommendations, privacy failures, and a near-total absence of age-appropriate design.
Technological progress should make childhood safer—not more dangerous. AI Accountability Super PAC will treat child safety as a first-order voting issue, not a footnote in a larger industrial policy bill.
We will support candidates who back age-appropriate design duties, limits on persuasive systems marketed to minors, real parental awareness rather than buried settings, and enforcement that does not wait for a tragedy to become a hearing.
America can lead in AI and still decide that childhood is not a beta test. We will spend independently to make that choice visible.
