  "account": "Tom Siegel, former Google manager, has warned about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for children and called for a slowdown in its development. He claims the tech industry is repeating the mistakes of the social media era, potentially causing even greater harm to minors. Siegel, now head of the Youth AI Safety Institute at Common Sense Media, cites risks including suicide, psychosis, and decreased critical thinking. He urges companies like Anthropic and OpenAI to implement stricter age checks for their chatbots and for Google to add an easy shutdown feature for AI search summaries. Siegel warns that inaction could lead to lawsuits and regulations.",
