* AI can provide a dynamic and interactive learning experience for children, adapting to their needs and pace. For example, AI can assess a child's learning style and tailor educational content accordingly.
* AI-powered toys and applications can engage children in novel and exciting ways. They can turn learning into a game, making it more fun and thereby encouraging children to learn more.
* As AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives, early exposure can help children become more comfortable with this technology. This can prepare them for a future where AI will likely play an even bigger role.

## Position: No, AI should not be allowed in products marketed to children

* Pro Children do not have all the right decision-making skills when it comes to products.
* Pro Children are more impressionable at a young age.
* Pro Children under 13 can't use social media for a reason.
* Con Argument against the second possibility.
* Children's products that use AI often collect data, including personal information, about the child's usage patterns, preferences, and sometimes even their location. This data can be exploited if not adequately protected.
* Overuse of AI-powered devices may reduce the amount of human interaction that children get. This can hinder the development of their social skills, as they may spend more time with machines than with people.
* AI products can influence children's behavior, decision-making, and perceptions of the world. Companies could potentially use AI to manipulate children's behavior for commercial gain, which is an ethical concern.

## Position: AI should only be allowed in products marketed to children if...

* Pro Argument in favor of the second possibility.
* Con Argument against the second possibility.
* There should be strict regulations that govern the collection, use, and storage of children's data by these products. The companies involved should be transparent about their data practices and obtain parental consent before collecting any data.
* The AI products should only show age-appropriate content. They should have filters in place to prevent access to inappropriate material.
* There should be mechanisms to ensure that children do not overuse these products at the expense of other important activities. This could include automatic shut-offs after a certain period of use.
* The AI products marketed to children should have clear educational benefits and not just be used for entertainment. The AI should enhance the child's learning, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
