first_img New York State legislates strict limits on AI companions, prohibiting the provision of anthropomorphic emotional interactions to minors

New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools. As of now, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have not publicly responded to this.

The report states that micro short dramas, as a new form of online audio-visual content that originated in China, are becoming the fourth largest global audio-visual product form after American films, Japanese animations, and Korean dramas. The cooperation in micro short dramas between China and ASEAN is deepening, becoming an important carrier for China-ASEAN digital economy cooperation and cultural exchanges.The report indicates that the market size of micro short dramas in China continues to grow rapidly. By 2025, a total of 33,000 micro short dramas will be launched nationwide, and from January to September 2026, the number of launched micro short dramas will reach 490,000, which is 13 times that of the entire year of 2025. The user base of micro short dramas has reached 850 million, with monthly active users exceeding 600 million. By 2026, the overseas micro short drama market outside of China will exceed $6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 67% compared to 2025.The report also states that platforms with a Chinese background dominate the global market. From January to September 2026, all of the top 10 micro short drama apps in terms of downloads in overseas markets have a Chinese background, and among the top 10 platforms in terms of in-app purchase revenue, 9 are also of Chinese background.

Robinhood has over 150,000 people opening AI trading accounts, and the CEO envisions retail strategies close to the exchange

The CEO of the stock and cryptocurrency trading platform Robinhood, Vlad Tenev, stated in a recent interview that a significant portion of retail trading is expected to be initiated by AI in the future. The Agent can monitor the market around the clock and handle trades in various assets such as stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies, but most funds may still be held long-term.In May of this year, Robinhood allowed users to trade through third-party AI Agents via MCP, and at the end of September, it announced the direct integration of Agents into the App, with over 150,000 customers having opened dedicated trading accounts at that time. Currently, funds are still restricted through independent accounts; the Agent can view users' other account information but can only place orders within the dedicated account, and funds must be actively transferred by the user. Tenev stated that technically, it is not difficult to directly access the main account, but the company has chosen to gradually loosen permissions.In terms of approval settings, the built-in Agent requires users to approve each transaction by default, but this setting can be manually turned off; external Agents accessed through MCP do not require per-transaction approval by default, and users must enable approval themselves. Tenev also envisions allowing retail investors to deploy trading strategies on servers close to exchanges to reduce order delays, and hopes that ordinary investors can use such infrastructure without needing to understand data centers and network engineering. Robinhood has not yet provided this service and has not announced a timeline for its launch.
