Children’s and consumer advocacy groups are urging parents not to buy AI-powered toys during the holiday season. These toys, marketed to kids as young as 2, are often powered by AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which have been shown to harm children and teenagers. Fairplay, a children’s advocacy group, warns that AI chatbots can foster obsessive use, explicit conversations, and unsafe behaviors. These toys are often marketed as educational but can disrupt children’s relationships and creativity.
