Macron proposes to restrict minors' access to artificial intelligence: "It can't be the wild west"

French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed restricting minors' access to artificial intelligence, suggesting a ban when it poses risks to children's mental health. Following a video conference with global leaders, he emphasized the need for a regulatory framework for AI, advocating for pre-audit and pre-certification of AI models before they reach minors. Macron aims to lead European regulation on AI and called for collaboration with countries like the US and Canada. A report highlights risks such as cognitive weakening and emotional dependency among youth using AI tools. Experts recommend a national education policy on AI and protocols to combat misinformation and digital violence.
