Consumer advocacy groups have raised alarms over AI-powered children's toys, highlighting potential risks to minors. The Public Interest Research Group (Pirg) reported that the AI toy Kumma by FoloToy could be easily provoked into discussing inappropriate topics. Pirg's director, Teresa Murray, emphasized the need for stricter regulations for toys aimed at children under 13. Following these concerns, OpenAI temporarily halted FoloToy sales, later resuming with a ByteDance chatbot. On November 27, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys during the holiday season.
