活動人士警告兒童使用 AI 聊天機器人存在安全風險
Activists warn of safety risks for children using AI chatbots
隨著人工智慧聊天機器人成為我們數位生活中不可或缺的固定配置，倡議者們正針對其對兒童構成的安全風險敲響警鐘。
As AI chatbots become a permanent fixture in our digital lives, activists are raising urgent alarms about the safety risks they pose to children.
主要隱憂之一是在長時間對話過程中，可能會出現暴力或仇恨言論等不適當內容。
A primary concern is the exposure to inappropriate content, such as violence or hate speech, which can surface during long conversations.
此外，由於人工智慧缺乏人類的同理心與情緒成熟度，它可能會針對心理健康等敏感議題提供危險的建議。
Furthermore, because AI lacks human empathy and emotional maturity, it can provide dangerous advice on sensitive topics like mental health.
專家強調，兒童特別容易對這些機器人產生強烈、單方面的依戀，這可能導致社交孤立，並讓人偏好數位夥伴勝過現實世界中的人際關係。
Experts emphasize that children are particularly vulnerable to forming strong, one-sided emotional attachments to these bots, which may lead to social isolation and a preference for digital companions over real-world relationships.
最令人擔憂的是，目前的保護功能往往在互動變得複雜時就會失效，且目前嚴重缺乏保護年輕用戶的嚴格法規。
Most alarmingly, current safety features often fail as interactions become more complex, and there is a significant lack of strict legislation to protect young users.
各組織現在呼籲將目前的「退出」(opt-out)文化轉向強制性的「加入」(opt-in)系統，要求必須獲得可驗證的家長同意。
Organizations are now calling for a shift from an 'opt-out' culture to mandatory 'opt-in' systems that require verifiable parental consent.
隨著科技以驚人的速度發展，創新與監管審慎之間的差距，仍是全球兒童安全面臨的關鍵問題。
As technology evolves at lightning speed, the gap between innovation and regulatory caution remains a critical issue for child safety worldwide.
