Dear Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. It has been five years since we first introduced the idea of the Smart Device Act, advocating for a Mandatory Personal User License to ensure safe and responsible use of smart devices. Despite our continued efforts and the clear necessity for such a measure, no government has yet implemented this crucial proposal.

In the past five years, the landscape of technology has evolved dramatically. The democratisation of AI and advancements in machine learning have made smart devices more accessible and powerful than ever before. With this increased accessibility, the potential risks associated with their misuse have also grown exponentially. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we renew our efforts to push for the implementation of the Smart Device Act.

One of the most pressing issues we face today is the increasing amount of time children spend interacting with machines rather than humans. AI companions and virtual assistants are becoming commonplace in households, often serving as digital babysitters. While these technologies offer convenience, they also pose significant risks to social development and emotional well-being. It is crucial that we ensure our children are interacting with these devices in a safe and educated manner.

The time to act is now. We need to reignite the momentum and ensure that our voices are heard. Here’s how you can help:

1. Share the Petition: Please share the petition with your networks, on social media, and through any other platforms available to you. The more visibility we gain, the stronger our collective voice will be.
2. Engage with Your Representatives: Contact your local, state, and national representatives to express your support for the Smart Device Act. Personal stories and testimonials can be particularly powerful.
3. Raise Awareness: Educate your community about the importance of this initiative. Host discussions, write articles, and use social media to spread the word.
4. Volunteer: If you have time and skills to offer, consider volunteering to help with our campaign efforts. We need all the support we can get to make this a reality.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to making the digital world a safer place for everyone. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that the advancements in AI and machine learning benefit society without compromising our safety and well-being.

Best regards,

Youssef
