@GovKathyHochul leads the way in statewide AI protection efforts for kids.

This morning, with our advisory council member Cristin Frodella by her side, she announced New York’s first Center for AI Responsibility and Research.

Thank you, Governor, for leading by example.

Thank you to H.E. Hajer Althehli for joining us at our Kids & AI Summit in New York!

Conversations like these, across countries and sectors, are how we build a safer digital future for kids everywhere.

A UAE delegation led by H.E. Hajer Althehli, Secretary General of the Education, Human Development and Community Development Council (EHCD), participated in Common Sense Media’s AI & Kids Summit in New York, with the support of the Consulate. The delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Family and Abu Dhabi’s Early Childhood Authority.

During the visit, the delegation met with NYU President Linda Mills and Dr. Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, to exchange perspectives on AI, education, and child development.

On/off, here but not there, if this, then that...

Google’s AI-in-schools announcement was full of confusing options.

But it’s simple: schools need a Search option free of AI Overview, AI Mode, Guided Learning & other AI features.

Turn on Google’s AI on student devices, or lose access to Google Search altogether? That’s the choice educators will face starting in January. Why not just let kids have Google Search without AI? Seems like a reasonable ask to us. Follow us to stay updated on kids and the AI era

At our NYC summit, we asked @GovKathyHochul why she signed the nation’s toughest guardrails on social media and AI chatbots into law, and why it matters to her.

As a mom, her answer was clear: tech platforms must be held accountable for protecting our kids.

With one in five American teenagers reporting harm to their mental health from social media sites, it is critical that we take action to rein in big tech companies.

I’m hosting a virtual town hall TOMORROW, October 29th at 3:30 p.m. to discuss the urgent need to protect all social media users, especially young people.

I will be joined in this timely conversation by expert special guests from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and @CommonSense. RSVP to join us: https://t.co/wSlYARb1GJ
