Congress says it’s protecting children from the dangers of AI — but the truth is, the new GUARD Act could be the next big step toward a national digital ID system.
Sen. Josh Hawley’s GUARD Act and Rep. John James’s App Store Accountability Act sound like “child safety” wins, but together they would require every American to verify their identity just to access AI tools, apps, and online services.
In this episode, Julie Barrett breaks down:
✅ What’s actually in the GUARD Act
✅ How it connects to the App Store Accountability Act (ASAA)
✅ The clash with Trump’s AI-in-schools executive order
✅ And why this “bipartisan safety push” could redefine your digital freedom
