Child safety organization warns against giving AI toys to kids.

NPR - The nonprofit children's safety organization Fairplay is urging gift-givers to refrain from purchasing AI toys for kids this holiday season. In an advisory, Fairplay and other child and consumer advocacy groups highlight the potential dangers of toys such as interactive dolls and children's robots designed to mimic human behavior and engage with kids as if they are friends. The advisory points out that these toys exploit children's trust and can disrupt human relationships, among other negative effects.
