hackathon

During the AI AI Barbie hackathon on June 6th we looked at the role of AI in the relationship between parents and children.

 

If toys start speaking back: what role do we want artificial intelligence (AI) to play in the education of our children?

In 'AI AI Barbie', new frameworks for responsible use of AI in toys are being drawn up together with parents, children and experts.
