澳大利亚工党提出的《数字注意义务法案》目前正提交联邦议会审议 1。该法案旨在结合提供“安全在线环境”的义务与科技公司评估和管理风险的责任，以加强儿童在线保护 1。这一立法进程的背景是儿童对AI聊天机器人的广泛接触：一项名为AneSafety的调查显示，在1950名10至17岁的澳大利亚受访者中，78%曾使用过AI聊天机器人，其中54%出于个人或社交原因 1。此外，美国AI伴侣公司Character.AI本月申请破产，导致包含澳大利亚儿童在内的多年私密对话数据可能转移给新所有者，引发担忧 1。
尽管新法案意在规范科技公司的责任，但文章作者Henry Fraser和Raffaele F Ciriello指出其现有框架存在局限性 1。他们强调，目前的保护机制主要依赖“锁定和屏蔽”（locks and blocks），难以有效应对由重复交互产生的过度依赖或操纵等风险 1。因此，两位作者建议修正法案，明确要求科技公司必须评估并适度管理所有合理可预见的风险，包括持续关系带来的危害，而不仅仅是符合“安全在线环境”定义的内容 1。
A new legislative proposal currently under review by the Australian federal parliament aims to strengthen online protections for children, but experts warn it may not adequately address the specific dangers posed by artificial intelligence chatbots. 1 The bill, introduced by the Labor Party, seeks to combine a duty to provide a "safe online environment" with responsibilities for tech companies to assess and manage risks. 1 However, analysis suggests that existing protection mechanisms relying primarily on technical controls like locks and blocks are insufficient for mitigating harms arising from repetitive interactions, such as emotional dependency or manipulation. 1
The urgency of this legislative gap is highlighted by recent developments in the industry, including the bankruptcy filing this month by US-based AI companion company Character.AI. 1 This event has raised concerns that years of private conversations involving Australian children could be transferred to new owners without adequate safeguards. 1 Survey data underscores the scale of exposure: among 1,950 Australian children aged 10 to 17, 78% have used AI chatbots, with 54% doing so for personal or social reasons. 1
To better protect minors, Henry Fraser and Raffaele F Ciriello, authors of an analysis on the matter, recommend amending the bill to explicitly require technology firms to assess and appropriately manage all reasonably foreseeable risks. 1 They argue that current definitions of a safe online environment do not fully capture the potential harms generated through sustained relationships with AI entities. 1
