Social media's late reckoning prompts warning on AI safety
Original: A reckoning on social media addiction came late for many kids. Will AI safety be different?
Commentators are drawing a parallel between the slow regulatory response to social media's harms to children and the emerging wave of artificial intelligence. Years passed before governments, schools and families confronted the effects of platforms on young users' mental health. Now writers at outlets including The Seattle Times and The Telegraph are asking whether policymakers and tech companies will act sooner to protect children from potential AI-related harms.
Why now: Rapid growth of AI tools aimed at consumers has revived debate about whether society will repeat its slow response to social media harms.
