Moratoriums for Child‑AI Safety

States will increasingly use temporary bans on consumer AI products aimed at minors (toys, wearables, apps) as a deliberate policy instrument to force regulators time and leverage to create industry standards, rather than relying solely on post‑hoc enforcement. These moratoria become de‑facto staging rules that shape product design, investment pacing, and who gets to write safety frameworks. — If adopted across jurisdictions, moratoria will rewire how consumer AI markets develop, centralizing regulatory bargaining and creating incentives for firms to redesign products or lobby for fast exceptions.
