Dhaka, June 25 -- Children today spend more time on mobile phones than studying, and many are exposed to inappropriate content. Some even use technology to invade others' privacy and engage in blackmail. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), companies in countries like Japan and the United States are replacing human workers with machines, resulting in job losses.Meanwhile, harmful products such as cigarettes and intoxicants continue to be promoted, leading people into destructive habits.I urge governments to protect their citizens from the darker impacts of AI and unchecked technological development. People should not have to suffer as the world changes around them.
