And so in a lot of cases, this just may not be enough for the child safety advocates.
They're looking for a lot stronger protections, and they're telling me the strongest protections, what they're looking for exactly is in Senator Marsha Blackburn's framework for AI.
The reason this is such a big thing is that the White House is looking for one framework on AI that will determine AI law for the entire country rather than states having their own AI laws.
For instance, there's a law in the Florida House that passed the Florida Senate, didn't pass the Florida House, potentially because of involvement from the White House.
But to stick to that bill, it would include parental controls on AI, bans on chatbots,
bringing up inappropriate topics to children, those kinds of things.
And so a lot of states have these different types of laws.
Some states like California have what the White House considers to be woke AI laws, where AI discriminates against conservatives or certain viewpoints.
And so the White House wants...
to preempt some of these state laws, get rid of these state laws in exchange for this national framework.
And so this national framework, we've been waiting for it for a long time.
We finally got a draft today.
I was able to review the child safety provisions, particularly in advance.
So what we're seeing in this draft is it says that generally applicable state laws on protecting kids from AI will not be preempted.
But what child safety advocates are worried about is that this is too general and could give the White House license to preempt some state AI laws, which actually do not create an undue burden, but might just put too much of the companies might not want to deal with this type of this type of burden.
So there is going to be somebody who the burden to protect kids is on.
It could be on the parents or it could be on the tech companies or it could be a little bit on both.
Who is responsible primarily for protecting kids?
And so this AI framework uses phrases like it's going to empower parents with parental controls, screen time limits, age limits.
app store parental requirements to sign off on a kid getting an app that kind of thing but the issue that child safety advocates are seeing is that studies have shown that putting the burden on parents really does not work because one parents don't know how to how to do this some parents aren't monitoring their kids online activity it's just most parents really aren't going to be that involved on
