During a Senate testimony, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed his concern about children forming close bonds with AI, stating he wouldn't want his son to have an AI as a best friend. He emphasized the importance of protecting children as they interact with increasingly personal AI systems, which pose privacy challenges. Altman suggested that while adult users may approach AI tools with more flexibility, children require significantly tighter regulations to ensure their safety and well-being in this evolving technological landscape.
I do not want my son to form a best-friend bond with an AI bot. Kids need a much higher level of protection than adults using AI tools.
These AI systems will get to know you over the course of your life so well - that presents a new challenge and level of importance for how we think about privacy in the world of AI.
It's a newer thing in recent months, and I don't think it's all bad; but I think we have to understand it and watch it very carefully.
If we could draw a line and if we knew for sure when a user was a child or an adult, we would allow adults to be much more permissive.
