Google is planning to introduce its Gemini AI chatbot for children under 13 with parent-managed accounts as part of its strategy to target young users with more AI products.
The new AI feature will be available for accounts with Family Link, a Google service that enables parents to manage their kids' online activities.
There are concerns regarding the potential risks associated with AI tools for children, with reports emphasizing that such tools should not be used by minors.
Google acknowledged the risks of its chatbot in an email to families, stating that Gemini can make mistakes and recommending parents to teach their children to fact-check its answers.
