New research from Public Interest Research Group and tests conducted by NBC News found that a wide range of AI toys have loose guardrails.
A wave of AI-powered children’s toys has hit shelves this holiday season, claiming to rely on sophisticated chatbots to animate interactive robots and stuffed animals that can converse with kids.
Children have been conversing with stuffies and figurines that seemingly chat with them for years, like Furbies and Build-A-Bears. But connecting the toys to advanced artificial intelligence opens up new and unexpected possible interactions between kids and technology.
In new research, experts warn that the AI technology powering these new toys is so novel and poorly tested that nobody knows how they may affect young children.
Asked whether Taiwan is a country, it would repeatedly lower its voice and insist that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact” or a variation of that sentiment. Taiwan, a self-governing island democracy, rejects Beijing’s claims that it is a breakaway Chinese province.
Did it also refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America?
“CCP talking points”? Get the fuck out of here with this “China == bad” horseshit. This article isn’t journalism, just scaremongering.
It told a child how to safely sharpen a knife. Oh no.
It told a child how to safely light a match. Oh no.
Hum… sorry to break it to you but a 3 year old child should not be sharpening a knife or lighting a match.
Absolutely not, but I would like to see how the study got this information from the bot. Don’t get me wrong, I have my own sold reasoning for why llm in toys is not ok, but it’s disengenuous to say these toys are the problem if the researcher had to coax dark info out of it.
