The changes keep coming. Earlier in the year, MyAI was embedded into social media platform Snapchat. This is a chatbot powered by ChatGPT, which encourages teens to ask anything — from gift suggestions for friends to questions about homework.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is rolling out ‘Copilot’ on its systems, billed as an “everyday AI companion”. This follows the introduction of ‘Bing Chat’, an AI-enhanced assistant to accompany the Bing search tool.
All of a sudden, generative artificial intelligence — which can create new content such as text and images has become accessible to everyone, including children.
We are researchers with a background in digital technology and are highly enthusiastic about the potential for AI. However, there are risks as well as benefits. Here are three things parents can keep in mind as they navigate AI technology with their kids.

Artificial intelligence itself is not new — chatbots and generative AI have been around since the 1960s.
