On April 25, Wab Kinew announced that the province of Manitoba will ban the use of artificial intelligence-based chatbots and social networks by youth. Ixbt.com reports on this.
Kinew stated that platforms train people for endless scrolling, thereby damaging mental health, and said, "They are doing terrible things to children for likes, for even more profit."
Experts indicate that social networks are linked to sleep disorders, decreased attention, and long-term mental health issues, although additional research is necessary to clearly establish cause and effect.
The law aims to protect youth from harmful influences, and such a ban is being introduced for the first time in Canadian history.
