In the case of Sewell Setzer, the young 14-year-old who took his life, his mother knew to be looking out for what he was using in terms of social media, but did not know about these new AI chatbots. And there's so many of them that are constantly coming on the market. And so ironically, I think the social media ban in Australia would not cover so far the character.ai companion AIs.

And I think that speaks to the issue of technology moving faster than governance. We have to live in a world where our culture and our appraisal of technology issues is moving as fast as the technology is. But I will say that that channel of a child and their brain and their psychological environment

AI is going to produce a flood of new threats into that environment from notification apps that are already starting to hit schools, of kids making non-consensual imagery of other classmates, to new forms of harassment, to these new chatbots.

And so I think while this channel is basically about to get flooded, saying we need to kind of put strict limits on that channel before we figure out what's really safe feels like a wise decision, given that the incentives are not aligned with strengthening children's development as we roll out technology. Not yet.

No, no. And in Jonathan Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation specifically, the issues of self-harm and suicide and depression and all of this stuff, harassment, have been particularly harder on young girls compared to young boys. So it's not surprising to me at all, unfortunately. And we can't know what this case is too early to tell, given that we don't know their usage.

But we do know that, again, we've run this experiment on children for the last 15 years.

And if I'm the Chinese Communist Party and I have an ability to go in and sort of steer TikTok and tilt the playing field of what gets recommended, I not only have the ability to steer what people are seeing, I have a 24-7, up-to-the-minute update view of all of the cultural fault lines and divisive issues per political tribe in that country.
