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.

We know with social media, we were so behind on that, and we do not want to be behind on AI.

We do not want the effects of AI to impact children like social media did.

Well, what we've heard so far is that there is some, thankfully, some legislators that want to stand up and who want to do the right thing.
