It's a problem for parents, in that allowing children some amount of AI access is probably inevitable for many, but the usual services currently have poor to no parental controls.
My child is too young still to worry about what my eventual "AI policy" will be, and I'm grateful to be at a point in the timeline where I can wait and see. But I already know that while as an adult I also don't want censored AI, I wouldn't mind if the one a child has access to has boundaries it won't cross.
In general, my impression is that the majority of people children come in contact with have better "this is not a conversation I will have with children" controls than AI chatbots do, if they are even in a position to know of course.
And if you have to make safety and steering work for children, then you have to make it work in general, even if adults can turn it off.
