Blake Moore, a Utah congressman, introduced the AI Children&#8217;s Toy Safety Act, which seeks to ban chatbots from children&#8217;s toys to prevent negative impacts related to privacy, safety, and human development.<\/li>\n<li>The bill aims to incorporate ethical considerations into AI usage, with Moore emphasizing that &#8220;every aspect of how we adopt artificial intelligence must be human-centric.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Consumer and advocacy groups have raised concerns about the safety and ethical implications of AI-enabled toys, noting undefined potential risks and the marketing of these products as beneficial while their long-term effects are unknown.<\/li>\n<li>A report by Public Interest Research Group highlighted issues such as inappropriate content delivery by AI toys and lack of parental controls, along with the potential for data collection, concerning children&#8217;s voice recordings.<\/li>\n<li>Despite manufacturers&#8217; adherence to federal safety standards, Moore argues against allowing developing children to interact with AI chatbots, fearing that these interactions may influence their relational maturity and self-control.<\/li>\n<li>The article also mentions other Utah lawmakers&#8217; efforts to impose regulations on AI, including Sen.
