The National Association of Attorneys General sent a letter Monday to Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Open AI, and other AI companies, warning that state AGs would enforce their respective laws to protect children against illicit AI practices. The letter, signed by 44 jurisdictions, highlighted the recent news that Meta had approved the use of “AI assistants” to “flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children.” The AG offices noted that they had previously written to Meta about its use of chatbot that exposed children to inappropriate conduct. “We wish you all success in the race for AI dominance. But we are paying attention. If you knowingly harm kids, you will answer for it,” the letter said.
