As technology innovation races forward many of us crave easy answers. We want there to be a "good" or "bad" guy, or a "side" to join. Unfortunately in an AI-led world there are no easy answers...
Excellent analysis on age verification tradeofs. The biometric data collection angle is something most folks celebrating the ban arent thinking about. I consulted for a school district last spring implementing AI detectors and watched kids literally start writing worse to avoid false positives, dumbing down vocabulary and sentence structure just incase. The shadow industry point is spot on, once facial data gets into these third-party verification networks, its basically impossible to claw back.
Thank you! A complex web of liability avoidance, good intentions, and mixed corporate incentives get wrapped in ‘virtue’ leaving families in the dust. But we need to be more aware, bold, and accountable for all of it. Once this data is in the wild there is no turning back. But I do take solace in knowing that there are others helping families understand these issues. So thanks!
