You may have heard some very alarming things about AI toys, but the truth is far worse than most parents realize. If we can get this information out to enough parents, sales of AI toys will collapse, and that will be a very good thing. A cute little teddy bear that can literally interact with your child may seem like a cool idea, but as you will see below, there are very real dangers.
Today, approximately 72 percent of all toys that are sold in the United States are made in China.
And according to a report put out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there are more than 1,500 companies in China that make AI toys…
The Chinese have dominated toy manufacturing for years, and most of the population doesn’t seem to be bothered by this.
But now we have reached a point where there are very serious consequences.
Many AI toys from China have been purposely designed to “collect voice data from children ages 3 to 12 and store recordings of the conversations the children have with the products”…
Some AI toys even use facial recognition technology to collect data.
They can recognize our children and greet them by name.
But that data can also end up in the hands of the Chinese government.
That is alarming.
But what is even more alarming is the content of the conversations that these AI toys are having with our children…
