Parents and carers: how has your view on your children’s use of social media or AI changed?
Summary
The Guardian is seeking testimony from parents and carers about children’s use of social media and AI chatbots. The appeal references allegations that companies such as Meta design addictive products for young users, lawsuits claiming OpenAI’s ChatGPT lacks adequate safety safeguards, and concerns from employees that competition is taking priority over responsible development. The companies deny the allegations and point to measures including parent-linked teen accounts. The article also describes how submitted personal information and contact details will be handled.
