00:02Researchers are calling for tighter regulation of artificial intelligence toys designed for very
00:07young children. A university study examined how children aged three to five interacted with a
00:12voice-activated toy using AI technology. Researchers found some children struggled
00:17to hold conversations with the device. In several cases the toy talked over children
00:22or failed to respond appropriately to emotional comments. The team says that could be confusing
00:28while young children are learning social cues. The manufacturer says it recognizes the
00:34responsibility of developing artificial intelligence for children and is
00:38prioritizing further research into how youngsters interact with the technology.
