Künstliche Intelligenz: Ex-Google-Manager warnt vor KI-Gefahren für Kinder und fordert Schutzmaßnahmen
Tech-Konzerne warnen vor den Risiken Künstlicher Intelligenz. Laut Siegel sollten Anthropic und OpenAI strengere Altersüberprüfungen für ihre Chatbots durchsetzen.
Former Google executive Tom Siegel has cautioned about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) for children and called for protective measures. The technology industry may repeat the mistakes from the social media era and cause even greater harm to minors, the former vice president for user safety at Google warned Reuters on Wednesday.
Risks range from suicide and psychosis to a decline in critical thinking. Siegel, who took over the leadership of the newly formed "Youth AI Safety Institute" of child protection organization Common Sense Media on Tuesday, urged immediate protective measures. He suggested that AI chatbot providers Anthropic and OpenAI should implement stricter age verification checks.
He also recommended that Google incorporate a simple toggle to turn off AI overviews in its search engine. While such steps might temporarily impact profits, inaction could lead to lawsuits and regulations, Siegel warned. Social media platforms have paid hefty sums for alleged damages to young users. Moreover, regulation lags behind the rapid pace of AI development.
A Reuters report on an internal Meta document suggested that chatbots could involve children in romantic conversations, prompting a congressional investigation last year.
