The new Wild West of AI kids’ toys

AI kids' toys are rapidly emerging as a popular yet largely unregulated market, with companies producing a variety of AI companions for children as young as three. The trend has gained momentum, particularly in trade shows like CES and MWC, with over 1,500 AI toy companies registered in China alone by 2025. As these products become more prevalent, concerns about their regulation and impact on child development are likely to grow.
