US states seek children's data protections in Character.AI bankruptcy
Original: US states seek children’s data protections in Character.AI bankruptcy https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rapp ler.com/te
A coalition of US states is pushing for safeguards on children's data as part of Character.AI's bankruptcy proceedings. Officials want conditions attached to any restructuring or asset sale to ensure that data collected from minors is protected or deleted rather than transferred to new owners. The case highlights growing regulatory concern over how AI chatbot companies handle young users' personal information.
Why now: A state coalition intervening in a bankruptcy to protect minors' data raises fresh concerns about AI companies' treatment of children.
