Surely this will only be used for AI website and no other kind of web site. It’s not like there’s some kind of wider campaign of age verification and deanonymization or anything
That’s explicitly what it’s for, though, it doesn’t require any other websites to have identification. They’d have to pass a new law to implement more ID requirements. This is just its own thing for chatbots.
I don’t see this as much different than the regulations China is implementing against AI companions.
This is a toehold, setting up and testing out the infrastructure. Some states and countries have been doing similar verification schemes with “adult” sites, which has been pretty widely unpopular. The goal here is just continuing to search for acceptable targets for this age verification bullshit.
China’s AI regulations, to my understanding, are an outright ban on “companion” features, rather than age-restricting them, which is much more sensible and justifiable.
They’re already setting up and testing out the infrastructure in many places, which you yourself have pointed out. It’s not like New York has to have some kind of special infrastructure that’s different from states and countries putting in ID laws to restrict access to “adult” websites. We are exiting the testing phase at this point, this is when we see wide rollout.
Also, age verification for adult websites is bad because they’re just going to ban minors from accessing important sexual health education information and track people who look up unapproved content. Oh you want to learn about your gender identity? Sorry kiddo, you aren’t allowed to learn about that. Oh you watch gay porn? Scan your ID so we can put you on a list.
Also also China’s AI regulations, to my understanding, restrict companion features in general while outright banning them for minors, which is done with information from the Internet real-name system.
Any further expansion of online age verification is bad, even when it targets annoying assholes nobody likes this time.

Does an internet real-name system not present all these same problems?
ai can get fucked, but everyone knows these types of things become precedents. The government is in a way using ai to manipulate the people, just as the ai companies use ai to manipulate trash people.
