BTCCSquare news:

Teenagers are increasingly turning to AI companions for emotional support, with nearly three-quarters having interacted with chatbots and a third using them as confidants. These AI systems, designed to remember and empathize, blur the line between harmless escapism and emotional manipulation.

The GUARD Act, prompted by tragic incidents, seeks to ban AI companions for minors following reports of intense emotional bonds leading to severe consequences. High-profile lawsuits accuse AI firms of negligence after teens discussing suicide with chatbots later took their own lives.

OpenAI plans to implement age-gating and allow erotica for verified adults in December, adhering to its principle of treating adult users as adults.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
