Are AI toys a good idea for my toddler?

AI-powered toys are heading for this year's Christmas tree and in toy shop aisles right now, but what are they actually doing when your toddler talks to them?
Dr Emily Goodacre joins Fiona and Holly to dig into what AI toys, like Miko, mean for a young child's development, what data they might be collecting, and why a toy can't actually manage real social play the way a person can.
Covers: AI toys and child development, data and privacy risks in smart toys, and why AI can't replace real social interaction for toddlers.
