In just two years, artificial intelligence has undergone a revolution. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot have rapidly become part of our daily lives. With Meta integrating AI chatbots into popular platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, the technology is more accessible than ever before.

However, as with any transformative technology, AI brings with it a host of potential risks that parents, educators, and policymakers must consider carefully. From privacy concerns and the danger of overtrust to the spread of misinformation and possible psychological effects, the challenges are significant. “As we step into this AI-driven era, we must carefully weigh the incredible potential against the genuine risks,” warns Collard.

Overtrust in generative AI can lead children to make poor decisions because they may not verify information. “This can lead to a compromise of accuracy and many other potential negative outcomes,” she explains. “When children rely too much on their generative AI buddy, they may become complacent in their critical thinking, and it also means they may reduce face-to-face interactions with real people.”AI chatbots, despite their sophistication, are not infallible.
