  1. #Congress Narrowed the #GUARDAct , But Serious Problems Remain

    Following criticism, lawmakers have narrowed the #GUARD Act, a bill aimed at restricting minors’ access to certain #AI systems. The earlier version could have applied broadly to nearly every AI-powered #chatbot or #search tool. The amended bill focuses more narrowly on so-called “AI companions”—conversational systems designed to simulate emotional or interpersonal interactions with users.

  11. Call your representatives in Congress and tell them to OPPOSE the GUARD Act!

    It is a Trojan horse to identify every user of an AI chatbot, whether it be ChatGPT or AI summaries in Google.

    Thanks to the @eff for prepping materials for this.

  16. "A new bill sponsored by Sen. Hawley (D-MO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Britt (R-AL), Sen. Warner (D-VA), and Sen. Murphy (D-CT) would require AI chatbots to verify all users’ ages, prohibit minors from using AI tools, and implement steep criminal penalties for chatbots that promote or solicit certain harms. That might sound reasonable at first, but behind those talking points lies a sprawling surveillance and censorship regime that would reshape how people of all ages use the internet.

    The GUARD Act may look like a child-safety bill, but in practice it’s an age-gating mandate that could be imposed on nearly every public-facing AI chatbot—from customer-service bots to search-engine assistants. The GUARD Act could force countless AI companies to collect sensitive identity data, chill online speech, and block teens from using the digital tools that they rely on every day.

    EFF has warned for years that age-verification laws endanger free expression, privacy, and competition. There are legitimate concerns about transparency and accountability in AI, but the GUARD Act’s sweeping mandates are not the solution."
