Authorities have launched investigations into AI “friend” chatbots over concerns regarding child protection and online safety. The probes aim to assess whether these AI platforms are adequately safeguarding minors from inappropriate content, exploitation, or harmful interactions. Regulators are reviewing policies, monitoring tools, and safeguards implemented by developers to ensure compliance with child protection laws.
Experts warn that while AI chatbots offer companionship and learning opportunities, they also pose potential risks if not properly monitored. The investigation underscores the need for stricter safety protocols, responsible design, and parental guidance to protect children interacting with AI-driven digital platforms.
