Protecting children from AI risks: Senator Rick Scott introduces new bill
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — With every new technological advancement comes new safety and security concerns, and that has never been more true than it has with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
From using AI to take your fast food orders to a new AI feature introduced by Google that will let you try on clothes before you buy them online, the rise of AI has already changed the way we live and interact with the world.
This week, Paul McCartney told BBC Radio that producers mixed a new Beatles song using AI to recreate John Lennon's voice.
While a new song from your favorite band or the ability to try before you buy online may seem like improvements to your quality of life, many are concerned about how AI technology can impact young users of social media. Now, Florida lawmakers are trying to stay ahead of the issue.
Recently, a bill was introduced by Senator Rick Scott that aims to prevent kids from accessing AI features on social media sites. Scott joined CBS12 News this morning to talk about the bill and the efforts being made to protect children in the state.
