Earlier this month, we heard rumblings that Google had plans to launch a more child-friendly version of its AI chatbot Gemini, and now 9to5Google reports that the tech giant has confirmed in an email to parents that the kids’ version of Gemini is officially in the works.
Children under the age of 13 will be able to start using Gemini in the coming months via a supervised account, and parents will be able to manage their children’s usage via Google’s Family Link app.
Google says Gemini can help children with homework and creative endeavors like making up stories, but also points out that Gemini can indeed make mistakes. The tech giant wants parents to teach children never to enter personal information into the chatbot, and to think critically about Gemini’s answers and always double-check responses.
“Remind [your child] that Gemini isn’t human. Even though it sometimes talks like one, it can’t think for itself or feel emotions,” Google writes in the email to parents, who can disable Gemini access for their kids via the Family Link app or website.
