Summary: AI education researcher Randi Williams examines how children form emotional bonds with AI toys and why adults should help them question system rules, limits and answers. Her examples emphasize playful inspection, shared use and family values rather than blanket bans. The talk presents a researcher’s framework, not longitudinal proof of developmental outcomes.
Why it matters: Parents, educators and product teams gain a practical lens for reviewing child-facing AI: inspect the relationship being encouraged, test the system’s limits, discuss who wrote its rules and keep adults involved in use.
