加拿大政府希望制定新法規，使 AI 聊天機器人更安全，並希望阻止 16 歲以下兒童使用社群媒體。
Main Body
The government is worried about AI. One AI company did not report violent content. Now, the law says AI must help people in danger and hide bad content.
政府對 AI 感到擔憂。有一家 AI 公司未報告暴力內容。因此，法規現在規定 AI 必須幫助處於危險中的人們，並屏蔽不良內容。
Children under 16 cannot use social media. But, some apps can follow the rules to stay open. They must have warnings and stop addictive designs.
16 歲以下兒童不得使用社群媒體。但某些應用程式只要遵守規則即可維持運作。它們必須提供警告並停止使用令人上癮的設計。
A new group will start these rules in 18 months. Some companies like Meta and TikTok disagree. They say Apple and Google should check the users' ages. Some teachers say children will use VPNs to hide and find more dangerous apps.
一個新組織將在 18 個月內啟動這些規則。像是 Meta 和 TikTok 等公司並不認同。他們認為 Apple 和 Google 才應該檢查使用者的年齡。一些教師則表示，孩子們會使用 VPN 來隱藏身份，進而找到更多危險的應用程式。
Conclusion
The government wants to keep children safe. But it is hard to stop everyone and make the apps follow the rules.
政府希望保護兒童，但要阻止所有人並讓應用程式遵守規則是非常困難的。
