The Opportunities And Risks: AI Chatbots For Children
Techstrong.ai, Monday, July 15th, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming an integral part of our lives, whether we are aware or not. From the phone we hold to transportation systems or even our education, many of the tools we rely on are slowly changing.
Most notably, ChatGPT showed the everyday person, in real terms, what a natural language-based AI can do. People around the world rushed to see its possibilities. But amidst all the hype, one important element hasn't been considered: The children.
Children of all ages are gaining access to AI tools, with many requiring little to no form of parental consent. Even though there are many profound benefits to the wide variety of tools available, if we aren't aware of the many risks of these AI chatbots on children, we face immense risks involving data privacy loss, cyberthreats and inappropriate content.
