Paris (Web Desk): French President Emmanuel Macron has said that the use of artificial intelligence that affects children's mental health and brain development should not be allowed.
Speaking in Paris, he made it clear that artificial intelligence cannot be given complete freedom and that protecting children from its negative effects is essential.
Macron also reiterated his proposal to ban certain social media platforms for children under the age of 15.
According to him, experts will prepare recommendations to protect children. Companies developing artificial intelligence will have to comply with regulations requiring independent assessments of their technology and testing and validation of systems before they are used by children.
The French president said that the proposed agreement is expected to include major technology companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic.
He further stated that Europe will play a leading role in developing effective regulations for artificial intelligence and will encourage the United States, Canada and other countries to adopt a joint strategy.
