Gaia Bernstein, a law professor and technology policy expert, warns about the emerging threat of AI companions to children's well-being. She argues that while these companions may seem to combat loneliness, they could actually deepen social isolation by creating too-perfect relationships. Bernstein highlights serious concerns over data privacy and children's vulnerability to manipulation. She calls for regulatory measures to protect kids as small tech companies aggressively develop these AI tools, potentially reshaping their emotional and social development.
