President Trump Signs Executive Order on AI … What Does it Mean?

It’s been a high tension week! We have been tight-knuckled and on the edge of our seats, wondering if President Trump will indeed sign an Executive Order that penalizes states for regulating artificial intelligence. NCOSE vehemently opposed the idea of such an Executive Order, as it would enable serious and even lethal harm to children.

Kids are already dying from A.I. technology; barring states from acting to protect their constituents would only make matters worse.

Now, President Trump has indeed signed an Executive Order on A.I... but is it the one we feared?

The answer is not simple!

📣ACTION: Tell the DOJ and the Secretary of Commerce that Child Safety Laws are NOT "Overly Burdensome"

The impact of this Executive Order depends on whether the DOJ and the Secretary of Commerce deem child safety laws to be "overly burdensome" on A.I. companies. We still have a chance to get in the ring and influence the outcome!

The Hill: Wizz, the 'Tinder for kids' app, exposes kids to predators. Congress must act.

"An app called “Wizz” has been making headlines lately for connecting minors with sexual predators. Many have described this app as a “Tinder for kids.” It’s the same purpose of perusing profiles to find someone you like (in other words, connecting with online strangers), but unlike Tinder, the app is targeted at both teens and adults.

What’s the result of this app design? A 12-year-old girl meeting up with a supposed 14-year-old boy that Wizz connected her with … only to discover the “boy” was an adult male, who sexually assaulted her."

Haley McNamara, NCOSE Executive Director and Chief Strategy Officer, and Lily Moric, NCOSE Communications & Content Strategist, wrote an opinion piece for the Hill on the dangerous app known as Wizz. 

Wizz's failed approach to child safety has resulted in minors being sexually abused by adults they met on Wizz. The premise of the app is to connect teens with other teens, but it is remarkably easy for adults to lie about their age and connect with minors on Wizz due to their faulty age verification technology.

📺 Watch Lily's interview with GBNews on the harms Wizz poses to kids and teens.

📣 ACTION: Call on the Senate to Pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA)!

The Senate's version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would establish a "Duty of Care" for tech platforms like Wizz—meaning, they must design their products responsibly to prevent foreseeable harms to children. 

The 2025 Gratitude Report is Here: Together, We Are The Wave

After a year of relentless advocacy and steadfast support from passionate activists like you, we have achieved some of our greatest victories yet!  

A groundbreaking Supreme Court decision that affirmed it was lawful for states to enact age verification on pornography websites; the signing into law of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which criminalizes the creation and distribution of image-based sexual abuse; and despite pressure, survivors never gave up on the campaign to release the Epstein files, culminating in magnificent success.  

These victories, as well as the many others we’ve accomplished this year, are a testament to the consistent benevolence and determination of NCOSE supporters. Without you fueling our work every single day, these wins would not have been possible.

TIME: How the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein Beat Washington at Its Own Game

"The most unwilling sorority in the country met three months ago on the rooftop of a law firm, just a block away from the White House’s campus. Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell mingled under the September dusk. Some were meeting each other for the first time. They had ostensibly gathered to make posters for the next day’s rally at the Capitol, but something more meaningful unfolded. Slowly, and without many words, the survivors came to understand their shared trauma and see around them a support network they didn’t know they needed. The realization seemed to harden their resolve, and jelled into one of the most efficient political movements to hit Washington in decades."
