This summer, OpenAI and Mattel announced a deal to bring AI-powered toys and games to market. According to a new report from Axios, those plans are currently on hold.
Recently, stories have emerged of how potentially dangerous AI-powered toys can be when the proper guardrails have not been put in place.
OpenAI has faced increased scrutiny of its safety mechanisms for chatbots after several tragic failures that led to deaths. Congress is starting to examine the psychological risks of AI use by those with mental health issues, and children’s use of AI companions.
