Children and chatbots: What parents should know

Children increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for information, guidance, and social interaction, raising concerns about their safety, data privacy, and psychological well-being. The shift reflects broader adoption of generative AI tools by younger audiences without clear safeguards or parental oversight.

Why it matters: Parents and guardians need to understand the risks of unmonitored AI chatbot use by children, including potential exposure to inappropriate content, data collection practices, and effects on child development.
