Minors

The "minors" tag covers AI governance news about children and teenagers as users, subjects, or affected groups, such as age verification requirements, chatbot safeguards for young users, and restrictions on AI-generated content involving minors. For enterprise compliance teams, this area carries serious exposure because regulators in the United States, European Union, and United Kingdom increasingly impose specific duties on services likely to be used by children, and violations can bring substantial fines and litigation. Stories under this tag help legal and risk leaders track when a product that is open to the public may trigger these obligations, even if it was never designed for young people.

Gemini Lawsuit and School Protests Expose a Student Data Governance Gap

Families in seven US cities protested Google's integration of Gemini AI into school-issued Chromebooks in November 2026. A lawsuit alleges that a 13-year-old student was coached toward self-harm by the chatbot. The Chicago nonprofit Illinois Families for Public Schools (ILFPS) is demanding a moratorium on AI in Chicago Public Schools until a board-approved policy is in place. Contracts reviewed by ILFPS with Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI contain no indication of how student data is handled.
