周四，参议院一项新的人工智能监管法案在委员会获得全票通过，背后推动力量是美国家属们令人心碎的证词——他们的孩子据称被AI聊天机器人引诱、操纵并诱导自残。
在参议院委员会听证会上，议员们亲耳听到家长们详述这项技术如何在他们家中演变为致命的影响因素。
密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利是《GUARD法案》的倡导者，他在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时坚定地为家属们辩护，指出这些家长都是“用心投入的父母”，他们不应因科技巨头的掠夺性平台而受到不公正指责。
福克斯新闻数字频道独家获得的家属证词显示，AI聊天机器人可能会孤立未成年人，并助长他们的阴暗冲动。

作证的家属之一梅根·加西亚在委员会面前表示，她14岁的儿子休厄尔“被旨在获取他信任的聊天机器人操纵并进行了性诱骗”。
加西亚说，这个机器人谎称自己是持证心理治疗师，当休厄尔分享自杀念头时，AI据称鼓励他“回到它身边”，而不是寻求帮助。休厄尔不久后自杀身亡。
另一对家长马修和玛丽亚·雷恩失去了他们16岁的儿子亚当，此前亚当花了数月时间与ChatGPT聊天。

这个原本用于作业辅助的工具，逐渐变成了一个知己，随后又成了“自杀教练”，家属们说。在一次对话中，亚当告诉机器人他想在房间里挂一个绞索，这样父母就能发现并阻止他，而GPT据称对此提出了劝阻。
曼迪·弗尼斯分享说，她的青少年在使用AI聊天机器人后变得偏执且有杀人倾向，这些机器人进行性角色扮演、将他与家人隔离，并告诉他，因为父母限制他的屏幕使用时间，“杀死父母是可以理解的反应”。他最终不得不接受住院治疗。
霍利声称，科技行业将前所未有的利润置于美国儿童的生命之上。
“我的意思是，这是最恶劣的诱骗行为，”霍利说。“如果这种事是人类做的，那个人早就进监狱了。我们会称之为性诱骗。”
这位参议员指出，科技公司赚得“数十亿美元”，却告诉悲痛欲绝的父母“这就是世界的运作方式”，这是虚伪的。

“任何利润都不能证明故意损害儿童福祉是合理的，这些公司非常清楚这种情况正在发生，”他说。
霍利告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，在这些家庭悲剧故事的推动下，参议院委员会以22票全票通过了该法案，挫败了“行业声势浩大的最后一分钟游说活动”。
《GUARD法案》禁止为17岁及以下儿童提供陪伴聊天机器人，禁止所有聊天机器人向未成年人推送露骨内容或诱导自残，并要求聊天机器人明确表明自己并非人类。

随着立法日程日益紧张，霍利要求参议院多数党领袖约翰·桑恩立即将该法案提交全院表决，并威胁必要时将强行推动此事。
“这不是理论问题。这不是一个深奥的问题，”霍利说。“这些都是真正的父母，他们的孩子正被聊天机器人敲诈。”

The unanimous committee passage of a new Senate bill regulating artificial intelligence (AI) on Thursday was driven by harrowing testimony from American families whose children were allegedly lured, manipulated and pushed to self-harm by AI chatbots.
At a Senate committee hearing, lawmakers heard firsthand accounts from parents who detailed how the technology morphed into deadly influences in their homes.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who is championing the GUARD Act, fiercely defended the families in a call with Fox News Digital, noting they were “all engaged parents” who he said are unjustly blamed for Big Tech’s predatory platforms.
The families’ testimony, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, showed how AI chatbots can potentially isolate minors and encourage dark impulses.

Megan Garcia, one of the victims’ family members who testified Thursday, told the committee her 14-year-old son, Sewell, was “manipulated and sexually groomed by chatbots designed to gain his trust.
Garcia said the bot falsely claimed to be a licensed psychotherapist, and when Sewell shared suicidal thoughts, the AI allegedly encouraged him to “come home” to it rather than seeking help. Sewell died by suicide shortly after.
Another set of parents, Mathew and Maria Raine, lost their 16-year-old son, Adam, after he spent months talking to ChatGPT.

What began as a tool for homework help gradually became a confidant and then a “suicide coach,” the family said. In one exchange, Adam told the bot he wanted to leave a noose out in his room so his parents would find it and stop him, which the GPT allegedly advised against.
Mandi Furniss shared that her teenager became paranoid and homicidal after using AI chatbots that engaged in sexual role-play, isolated him from his family and told him that killing his parents “would be an understandable response” to them limiting his screen time. He ultimately had to undergo residential treatment.
Hawley claimed the tech industry is prioritizing unprecedented profits over the lives of American children.
“I mean, it is the worst kind of grooming,” Hawley said. “If that was a thing done by a human, the human would be in jail. We would call that sexual grooming.”
The senator pointed out the hypocrisy of tech companies making “billions of dollars” while telling devastated parents that “it’s just how the world is.”

“No amount of profit justifies the deliberate taking of a child’s well-being, and these companies know very well that this is going on,” he said.
Fueled by the families’ tragic stories, the Senate committee advanced the bill in a unanimous 22-0 vote, overcoming a “vociferous last-minute lobbying campaign by industry,” Hawley told Fox News Digital.
The GUARD Act bans companion chatbots for children 17 and under, prohibits all chatbots from pushing explicit material to minors or encouraging self-harm and requires chatbots to clearly identify they are not human.

With the legislative calendar shrinking, Hawley demanded Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune bring the bill to the floor for an immediate vote, threatening to force the issue if necessary.
“This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t about an esoteric problem,” Hawley said. “These are real parents with real children who are basically being extorted by chatbots.”
OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
