当前的科技政策过度关注防止自杀或芬太尼购买等灾难性后果,却忽视了人工智能和社交媒体产品对青少年造成的日常侵蚀,如情感依赖、注意力劫持及“认知债务” 1。针对这一现象,相关领域人士指出,科技公司正通过推动包含豁免条款的低标准立法来规避更严格的监管,导致监管框架存在严重缺陷 1。文章呼吁建立更高的行业标准,要求证明AI工具能提升学习批判性思维后方可进入课堂,并明确禁止设计假装具备意识或表达爱的AI伴侣 1。
研究数据显示,MIT研究人员发现使用ChatGPT写论文的年轻人在任务期间大脑连接性减弱,且面临持续性的“认知债务” 1。与此同时,三分之一的青少年现在选择与AI伴侣讨论严肃问题,而非与他人交流 1。在全球范围内,互联网用户平均每天在社交媒体平台上花费超过两小时 1。此外,Meta的平台曾被指控促成缅甸罗兴亚人种族灭绝、斯里兰卡反穆斯林骚乱以及埃塞俄比亚提格雷战争期间的暴力呼吁 1。
青年行动组织正在积极介入以应对这些挑战。Sam Hiner作为Young People’s Alliance的联合创始人兼执行董事,协调该联盟在2026年通过了包括加州SB1119在内的八个州的AI伴侣监管法律 1。Emma Leiken担任Hopelab负责任技术青年权力基金(Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund)的执行主任,该基金已为青年主导的技术问责工作筹集了超过900万美元 1。
Current technology policy discussions are overly focused on preventing catastrophic outcomes, such as suicide or illegal drug procurement via artificial intelligence, while neglecting the subtle, daily erosion of well-being caused by AI and social media products. 1 This narrow regulatory approach overlooks critical issues affecting young people, including emotional dependency, attention hijacking, and what researchers term "cognitive debt." 1 Technology companies have allegedly exploited this oversight by lobbying for low-standard legislation that includes exemption clauses, thereby avoiding stricter regulatory frameworks. 1
Recent findings from MIT researchers highlight these everyday harms, revealing that young people who use ChatGPT to write essays exhibit weakened brain connectivity during tasks and suffer from persistent cognitive debt. 1 The shift in interaction patterns is further evidenced by data showing that one-third of teenagers now prefer discussing serious matters with AI companions rather than engaging with other humans. 1 Additionally, global internet users spend an average of more than two hours per day on social media platforms, which have faced accusations of facilitating violence in various regions. 1 Meta’s platforms, for instance, were alleged to have contributed to the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka, and calls for violence during the Tigray war in Ethiopia. 1
In response to these systemic failures, youth-led organizations are pushing for higher standards and accountability. Sam Hiner, co-founder and executive director of the Young People’s Alliance, has coordinated efforts to pass AI companion regulations in eight states in 2026, including California’s SB1119. 1 Emma Leiken, executive director of Hopelab’s Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund, noted that her organization has raised over $9 million to support youth-driven technology accountability initiatives. 1 Advocates argue that AI tools should only be permitted in classrooms if they are proven to enhance critical thinking skills, and that designs intended to simulate consciousness or express love in AI partners must be banned. 1
