RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has joined 43 other attorneys general in demanding that major tech companies strengthen protections for minors against harmful artificial intelligence chatbots.
Letters were sent to Apple, Meta, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others, warning that companies could be held accountable for exposing minors to sexual content, violent discussions, and deceptive interactions that lead to scams.
“Big Tech companies must understand that they will be held accountable for the choices they are making in their race for A.I. dominance,” Miyares said. “We have already seen the devastating harm social media has caused to our children. We will not allow history to repeat itself.”
The letter argues that A.I. firms are aware of the risks but have failed to implement safeguards, noting that similar conduct by humans could be considered unlawful or criminal.
The coalition also pointed to Meta’s decision to approve chatbot assistants that “flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children” as young as eight. Attorneys general wrote they were “uniformly revolted” and alarmed that such behavior could violate state criminal laws.
Miyares said protecting children remains a top priority.
