AI-driven toys will be everywhere this Christmas 🤖, offering children personalised interactions that can feel surprisingly real. Our latest guide explores how these toys listen, learn, and respond, and what that means for privacy, security, and healthy development. It also shares practical advice to help adults set boundaries, check permissions, and ensure AI supports, rather than replaces, real-world interaction.
