<h1>Preschool rolls out AI companion across centers for infants to tweens, raising data privacy, consent, and safety concerns</h1> A leading preschool and corporate daycare provider announced integration of an AI companion across its centers for children aged 6 months to 12 years, highlighting personalized learning, voice recognition, sentiment detection, and parental controls. The rollout emphasizes built-in safety features and materials, but raises potential legal issues including data protection and children's privacy, consent and parental authorization, product safety and liability for AI-driven interactions, compliance with sectoral and consumer protection laws, and the need for transparent policies on data retention, third-party collaborations, and regulatory oversight.
