How AI chatbots and AI assistants will impact kids

AI chatbots and assistants will become as ubiquitous as smartphones. They will be in our homes, devices, schools, toys. There are a lot of benefits they will bring to kids lives, but they also present new risks we need to carefully consider.

Sinead Bovell joins CTV Your Morning to discuss

So when, like you've said previously, that ai is built with some level of biases, a social media embedded chatbot would be essentially incentivised to keep a "conversation" with a child for example, for as long as possible? Even say, through "verbal" manipulation?

As a long-time teacher, I'm excited for what AI and VR can bring to learning. I'm also terrified of the idea that the message can be biased, incorrect or filtered.

Love your videos. Thanks!

It’s such better technology, imagining toy play as a child to be this engaging and intelligent is incredible but also very scary.
