Liberal convention votes for age-16 minimum on AI chatbots and social media
Delegates at the Liberal Party of Canada national convention voted in favour of two non-binding resolutions calling for a federal ban on AI chatbot and social media access for Canadians under 16. Culture Minister Marc Miller told CBC the government is "very seriously" considering the proposal, citing youth mental health concerns and questions raised by the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting case. The vote follows Manitoba's announcement of a similar provincial ban.
