David Crowley proposes AI safety policies for youth, seniors - WPR

David Crowley has proposed a set of AI safety policies aimed at young people and seniors, according to a report published by WPR under the headline 'David Crowley proposes AI safety policies for youth, seniors.' The proposals concern how companies use personal data, how companies handle scam advertising, and when families can take legal action over harms to children linked to technology. The excerpt provided contains three specific measures and one quotation from Crowley.

The measures Crowley outlined include barring companies from using people's personal data to target them with ads, penalizing companies that allow scam ads, and allowing families to sue companies over harms to children linked to tech programs or features. He said, 'We know AI is developing far faster than our government is legislating.' The excerpt does not identify the companies or technology programs the proposals would cover.

The quotation frames the proposals as a response to a gap between the pace of AI development and the pace of legislation. The headline references both youth and seniors; the measures described in the excerpt refer to children, personal data and scam ads. The excerpt does not name a legislative vehicle, a timeframe, or a body that would adopt the measures, and it does not say whether the proposals have been introduced as legislation. The three proposals address advertising targeting, scam advertising, and legal recourse for families, respectively.
