🛡 Ban on Romantic AI for Teenagers
The UK government plans to ban the use of "romantic" AI chatbots that simulate sexual relationships or role-playing for individuals under 18. Meanwhile, researchers from the University of Oxford point to a gap between government policy and the actual concerns of young people.
🌍 Regulators are focusing on moral and ethical aspects, while technological risks—such as skill degradation and emotional dependency on algorithms—remain outside the focus of strict bans.
👤 Bans may not solve the problem of neural network dependency, which manifests as blind trust in AI advice and a loss of the ability to independently verify information.
