The emergence of various GenAI chatbots demand that countries carefully consider – and publicly deliberate – the appropriate age threshold for independent conversations with GenAI platforms. The minimum threshold should be 13 years of age. Countries will also need to decide if self-reporting age remains an appropriate means of age verification. Countries will need to mandate the accountabilities of GenAI providers for age verification and accountabilities of parents or guardians for monitoring the independent conversations of underage children.
