So we're dealing with the House version of the Kids on Land Safety Act versus the Senate version.
And the House Energy and Commerce Committee recently passed the Kids Act, which includes a version of the Kids Online Safety Act, which these senators and other child safety advocates say is not as strong as the Senate version, which came from Senator Marsha Blackburn.
So they're saying that the duty of care, which is something we've talked about before,
on this show, which means who's responsible for kids' safety?
Is it the parents or is it the tech companies?
These senators are saying that the duty of care is not appropriately on the tech companies in the Kids Online Safety Act, the Senate version, making it too weak to truly protect kids.
And so they are asking Senator Cruz and Senator Cornyn to fight to make these protections stronger for kids.
It could.
I think when we've talked about the White House AI framework that was released Friday, I think we can expect to see Cruz be quite a leader in codifying that in the Senate because he, as you said, has been involved in these kind of conversations, has been supportive of preemption to some extent.
And so I think we can expect to see a lot from him.
We know what side he'll take.
But Cornyn's more of an unknown.
And so it'll be really interesting to watch where he falls on this really important issue.
There's definitely a lot of pressure mounting on child safety from around the country.
Yesterday was the launch of a pro-family coalition called the Alliance for a Better Future.
And they launched with some powerful new polling showing that 83%, I believe, of Americans support guardrails to protect kids on AI.
We know that this is a wildly popular issue.
The vast majority of Americans
do want state laws which protect kids from potential AI abuses to remain on the books.
And so I think that pressure will definitely play a role in this upcoming fight to pass this national framework on AI.
