Government warns about the recruitment of minors on social media and video games: this is how it seeks to combat it with artificial intelligence

On September 21, 2026, the government launched the campaign “No le abras la puerta,” a strategic initiative designed to prevent the recruitment of minors through digital platforms, including social media and video games. The program aims to utilize artificial intelligence as a primary tool to combat these risks and protect children and adolescents in online spaces.

While the government focuses on the protective application of technology, broader public discourse surrounding artificial intelligence highlights ongoing concerns regarding systemic risks. These include the potential for loss of control, the concentration of power among developers, and the ethical implications of how AI systems may influence societal norms and individual perspectives.
