Google is going to let kids use its Gemini AI
Briefly

Google has announced that children will gain access to Gemini AI Apps through Family Link. The initiative aims to assist children with tasks like homework and storytelling. However, Google cautions parents that while the AI is helpful, it can also make mistakes and potentially expose children to inappropriate content. Notably, children under 13 can enable and use Gemini independently. Parents are encouraged to communicate the nature of AI to their children and to use Family Link to manage their kids' interactions with the technology, ensuring safety and oversight.
