The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) has submitted a letter expressing concerns about California’s AB 1064, the Leading Ethical AI Development (LEAD) for Kids Act. While supporting efforts to establish safeguards for children’s use of AI, SIIA highlights potential challenges, including the complexity of implementing AI regulations in schools, the need for a nuanced risk-based approach, and the importance of including diverse stakeholders—such as educators, families, and technology developers—on the LEAD for Kids Standards Board. SIIA urges refinements to ensure the bill effectively protects children without unintentionally hindering educational innovation.
