Social media's late reckoning raises alarm over AI safety for kids
Original: A reckoning on social media addiction came late for many kids. Will AI safety be different?
Commentators are drawing parallels between the slow societal response to social media's harms to children and the emerging debate over artificial intelligence safety. Years of unchecked social media use left many young people addicted before regulators and schools acted, and writers in outlets including The Seattle Times and The Telegraph argue policymakers should apply those lessons now, before AI products deeply embed themselves in children's lives.
Why now: Concerns are growing that AI could repeat the pattern of social media, where harms to children were only addressed after years of damage.
