Thank you for having me on, Steve.
Really, our focus is trying to protect the young kids, just like you said, from access to these chatbots and from their data being sold to the highest bidder, truthfully.
So we jumped in because of the scary facts, just as you mentioned in your last segment, amongst others.
And what we're trying to do is put some guardrails in place to protect parents' rights, to make sure that parents have to opt their child in
to before they're allowed to use AI in a school setting to require age verification and ban children from under 18 from using chat bots.
And then also to protect their student data and their children's data, make sure that parents are in control of it and make sure that what's being taught in schools doesn't conflict with what we've already passed here in Florida and with our Western civilizational worldview.
No, no, right now it's the Wild West here in Florida.
School districts are having pilot programs, bringing in AI.
It's already on all the devices, obviously, as you know, Steve, computers, tablets, Chromebooks.
So many students have access to these devices and AI is already being integrated into those devices.
So it's the Wild West.
There is no clear guidance on what school districts can and can't do.
And so we're trying to put some in place because we believe
that miners need to be protected, our up and coming generation need to be protected from the very things that you've mentioned on your show so many times.
Well, I think it could serve both.
We definitely want it to be setting a stage and a pathway for the rest of the nation to follow.
It will protect students and it will protect minors.
And so for that reason, yes, we do believe that it may slow down its development when it comes to the application of children.
But really, we are just trying to protect them.
We're trying to make sure that children who do not know and don't have a developed brain yet fully don't end up doing something that's going to have a long-term effect.
