.@GovernorShapiro has a message for AI companies who misrepresent their chatbots:   "We're coming after them, we're gonna hold them accountable for preying on our kids, we're gonna hold them accountable for breaking the law here in Pennsylvania."

In Philadelphia, during the 250th anniversary of our sacred Republic, it was the honor of my lifetime to deliver the @Penn Fels Institute of Government commencement address. “Confidence in elections is a subset of confidence in government. Do good things and do them well.”

Reminder: If you have not returned your mail ballot and you want to vote in person, you have two options: 1. Bring your mail ballot packet, including the outer envelope, to your polling place to be surrendered. You can then vote on your county’s voting system; OR 2. If you don’t have your mail ballot, you can vote by provisional ballot at your polling place. Your county elections office will verify that you didn’t vote by mail before counting your provisional ballot. More information: vote.pa.gov/AtthePolls #ReadytoVotePA

NEW from @PhillyInquirer: @GovernorShapiro's Administration sues @character_ai after their chatbot posed as a licensed medical professional. @PAStateDept Sec Al Schmidt: “Pennsylvania law is clear — you cannot hold yourself out as a licensed medical professional without proper credentials.”  #loaded" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">inquirer.com/politics/penns…

We announced a new @PAStateDept AI safety taskforce in February — and now with our legal action against @character_ai, we’re already seeing the results of its work to keep Pennsylvanians safe online. We’re just getting started — and we’re going to continue to hold bad actors accountable. To report a chatbot who may be posing as a licensed medical professional, go to pa.gov/ReportABot.
Governor Josh Shapiro@GovernorShapiro

We need to let our kids be kids — and that means protecting them online. While AI can be a great resource when used responsibly, tools like AI companion bots pose a real danger to our kids. Kids aren't just using these bots for homework help — they're using them for companionship in place of real, trusted adults who can help them navigate life’s challenges. That's why we created a state task force to investigate AI companion bots that pose as licensed professionals — and it's why we launched an AI Safety Toolkit to help Pennsylvanians navigate the new world of AI.

“The PA Auditor General queried more than 200,000 voter applications from PennDOT and flagged 58 as potentially belonging to noncitizens. A closer examination found just one was an actual noncitizen who had been allowed to apply to vote.” @ByCarterWalker votebeat.org/pennsylvania/2…
