Kiwi kids can now access Google's Gemini AI chatbot, now the company has made it available to the under-13s.
The tech giant emailed global users of its parental control device Family Link in May to announce the pending change - which was rolled out first to users in the US, and then worldwide.
In the email the company acknowledged Gemini can "make mistakes" and parents should remind their children it "isn't human".
The rollout's automatic - so parents have to opt-out if they don't want their child to use it.
Should chatbots be part of children's learning?
Kathryn speaks with Toby Walsh, author of the 2023 book 'Machines Behaving Badly', which investigated the pace of AI's rollout and the limited regulation or oversight into it.
