Toy maker accused of planning AI experiment on kids

*Toy-maker Mattel accused of planning "reckless" AI social experiment on kids.*

These toys evidently have microphones and internet connections. Don't assume they aren't making a permanent record of everything the children say. If Mattel says they don't, you can't trust that. There may be "fine print" in what they say about this, which would appear to promise something which isn't really promised.

There may even be a universal back door that can alter some or all of the nonfree software in the device.
