Technology ought to enhance our lives—not control our lives, nor supplant the human experience. The AI Bill of Rights defends consumers, medical patients, and families in Florida from the potential harms of artificial intelligence applications. It is especially important that we protect the most vulnerable among us: our children.
Today, I announced that I am directing our state agencies to work with the Future of Life Institute and experts who study AI-human interactions to improve our understanding of AI harm to children. Through this collaboration, the state will develop a crisis counselor training curriculum to navigate AI-related mental health, as well as an AI Harms Reporting Form.
The Florida Senate passed the AI Bill of Rights, but Florida House leadership is blocking it. It is incumbent on the Legislature to act in the best interests of the people who elected them and defend the rights of all Floridians, especially children.
