Hi there,
We've received the following media request.
Thanks,
MNHQ
My name is Owen Thomas, and I'm a journalist in London currently working on a podcast series on AI for The Observer, alongside tech correspondent Patricia Clarke.
One particular episode of the podcast series focuses on AI and children. Many toy companies have started putting AI chatbots into their toys - often just ChatGPT or Grok put into a stuffed animal.
We're looking to speak to people who have had any experience at all of AI toys. What was your experience? Have you found them to be a positive influence on your household or your child? Or perhaps the opposite - did you get rid of it after noticing some upsetting changes in your child?
All conversation can be completely off the record if you'd prefer. If you have had any experience whatsoever with AI Toys, please reach out to me here, or at my email address - [email protected].
Thank you very much, and I hope to hear from you soon.
