Macron says no AI should reach children without independent tests, cites lab charter
Briefing by News4U · First published
Today French President Emmanuel Macron said on X that children must be at the heart of all political engagement, and that this commitment has taken on a new dimension in the era of social networks and artificial intelligence. He said science must guide decisions given the risks to children's development, citing France's bans on screens under 6 and phones until high school, and a European law to protect under-13s from social networks and tightly restrict access at 13 to 15. Macron said no AI should be placed in children's hands without independent testing and evaluation, and that a charter for safer AI for children, endorsed that day by Anthropic, Black Forest Labs, Microsoft and OpenAI, marked a concrete step.
