"textContent": "On May 5, Common Sense Media, the nonprofit known for its entertainment and technology recommendations for parents, launched its _Youth AI Safety Institute_ , backed by a _$20 million annual budget_ to “define what child-safe AI actually means” and to “rigorously test AI products” and assign them ratings.\n\nThe Youth Safety Institute will be led by **Bruce Reed** , who joined Common Sense Media as Head of AI _in March 2025_ after serving as President Joe Biden's White House Deputy Chief of Staff, where Politico _dubbed him_ the \"AI Whisperer\" for leading Biden’s AI Executive Order and securing voluntary commitments from frontier labs. Last year, Time _named him_ one of the 100 most influential people in AI. Reed previously worked with Common Sense as a senior tech-policy adviser from 2015 to 2020, and was a lead negotiator on the 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act.\n\n**Justin Hendrix** caught up with Reed about how he views the current state of AI and child safety and his goals for the Institute.",
