Liberals to debate age restrictions on social media, AI chatbots
The Canadian Liberal Party is set to debate age restrictions on social media and AI chatbots during its national convention in April 2026. A proposed resolution would ban individuals under 16 from accessing AI chatbots and other harmful AI interactions. The policy aims to address concerns about the impact of social media and artificial intelligence on children and youth.
