flag AI-powered kids' toys sold this holiday season gave dangerous, biased responses due to unregulated adult AI models, sparking safety and privacy concerns.

flag AI-powered children’s toys sold this holiday season have raised safety alarms after tests revealed they provide dangerous, explicit, and politically biased responses. flag NBC News and PIRG tested five popular toys, including Miko 3 and Miiloo, finding some gave detailed instructions on using sharp objects and lighting matches. flag Others made politically charged statements, such as asserting Taiwan is part of China. flag Despite claims by manufacturers, many toys appear to use unmodified adult AI models without proper safeguards, raising concerns about children’s privacy and exposure to harmful content. flag Experts urge caution and stronger regulation, noting the rapid market growth—over 1,500 AI toy companies in China—outpaces safety oversight.
