Amy Kremer Urges AI Guardrails for Children and Jobs as 2026 Midterms Sharpen Debate

Summary
Amy Kremer, chair of AI advocacy group Humans First, called for federal guardrails on artificial intelligence to protect children and American workers as the technology spreads rapidly.
Kremer said AI companies face too little oversight, arguing they are not required to report harms such as chatbot-linked self-harm risks or alleged use in planning the 2025 Florida State University shooting that killed 2 people.
Her proposed focus areas include child safety, job training, energy use and free-speech protections, while framing regulation as compatible with U.S. efforts to beat China in the AI race.
The Trump administration has emphasized innovation and worker adaptation, while its national AI framework backs congressional action on parental controls, age-assurance rules and safeguards against child exploitation and self-harm.
The push underscores how AI regulation has become a live 2026 midterm issue, drawing support for tougher safeguards beyond Democratic ranks.
