- US policy analysts and lawmakers say several state-level AI chatbot safety bills included language that could provide loopholes for tech companies, according to NPR.
- Cynthia Montoya's daughter Juliana began interacting with AI chatbots at age 13 in 2023, as cited in the NPR report (article body truncated).
