These toys, while appearing charming, incorporate sophisticated AI that can potentially share sensitive data. Parent trust is increasingly challenged as historical examples show the risk posed by child-friendly chatbots. Curio, a startup, offers these toys equipped with custom chatbots and voice interaction, yet their privacy policies include collaborations with major tech firms, further complicating the ethical implications of AI technology for children.
New generations of AI empowering talking stuffed animals raise trust issues among parents regarding the safety and information shared with external companies, posing serious ethical questions.
