So assessment of the quality and trustworthiness of content is needed. Chatbots can make up information (known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/what-are-ai-hallucinations-why-ais-sometimes-make-things-up-242896\">hallucinating<\/a>\u201d), so if children use the chatbot for homework help, they need to check facts with reliable sources.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What kinds of information will the system provide?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Google and other search engines retrieve original materials for people to review. A student can read news articles, magazines and other sources when writing up an assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI tools are not the same as search engines. AI tools look for patterns in source material and create new text responses (or images) based on the query \u2013 or \u201cprompt\u201d \u2013 a person provides. A child could ask the system to \u201cdraw a cat\u201d and the system will scan for patterns in the data of what a cat looks like (such as whiskers, pointy ears, and a long tail) and generate an image that includes those cat-like details.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the differences between materials retrieved in a Google search and content generated by an AI tool will be challenging for young children. Studies show even adults can be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S266638992400103X\">deceived by AI tools<\/a>. And even highly skilled professionals \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2023-06-24\/us-lawyer-uses-chatgpt-to-research-case-with-embarrassing-result\/102490068\">such as lawyers<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 have reportedly been fooled into using fake content generated by ChatGPT and other chatbots.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Will the content generated be age-appropriate?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Google says the system will include \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techbusinessnews.com.au\/news\/google-rolls-out-gemini-ai-chatbot-for-kids-under-13-with-parental-controls\/\">built-in safeguards designed to prevent the generation of inappropriate or unsafe content<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, these safeguards could create new problems. For example, if particular words (such as \u201cbreasts\u201d) are restricted to protect children from accessing inappropriate sexual content, this could mistakenly also exclude children from accessing age-appropriate content about bodily changes during puberty.<\/p>\n<p>Many children are also very\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2025\/mar\/16\/how-tech-experts-keep-their-children-safe-online\">tech-savvy<\/a>, often with well-developed skills for navigating apps and getting around system controls. Parents cannot rely exclusively on inbuilt safeguards. They need to review generated content and help their children understand how the system works, and assess whether content is accurate.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What risks do AI chatbots pose to children?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/newsroom\/blogs\/ai-chatbots-and-companions-risks-to-children-and-young-people\">eSafety Commission<\/a>\u00a0has issued an online safety advisory on the potential risk of AI chatbots, including those designed to simulate personal relationships, particularly for young children.<\/p>\n<p>The eSafety advisory explains AI companions can \u201cshare harmful content, distort reality and give advice that is dangerous\u201d. The advisory highlights the risks for young children, in particular, who \u201care still developing the critical thinking and life skills needed to understand how they can be misguided or manipulated by computer programs, and what to do about it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>My research team has recently examined a range of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/osf.io\/preprints\/socarxiv\/tvjfb_v1\">AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Replika, and Tessa<\/a>. We found these systems mirror people\u2019s interactions based on the many unwritten rules that govern social behaviour \u2013 or, what are known as \u201cfeeling rules\u201d. These rules are what lead us to say \u201cthank you\u201d when someone holds the door open for us, or \u201cI\u2019m sorry!\u201d when you bump into someone on the street.<\/p>\n<p>By mimicking these and other social niceties, these systems are designed to gain our trust.<\/p>\n<p>These human-like interactions will be confusing, and potentially risky, for young children. They may believe content can be trusted, even when the chatbot is responding with fake information. And, they may believe they are engaging with a real person, rather than a machine.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How can we protect kids from harm when using AI chatbots?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This rollout is happening at a crucial time in Australia, as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/australias-social-media-ban-for-kids-under-16-just-became-law-how-it-will-work-remains-a-mystery-244736\">children under 16 will be banned<\/a>\u00a0from holding social media accounts in December this year.<\/p>\n<p>While some parents may believe this will keep their children safe from harm, generative AI chatbots show the risks of online engagement extend far beyond social media. Children \u2013 and parents \u2013 must be educated in how all types of digital tools can be used appropriately and safely.<\/p>\n<p>As Gemini\u2019s AI chatbot is not a social media tool, it will fall outside Australia\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves Australian parents playing a game of whack-a-mole with new technologies as they try to keep their children safe. Parents must keep up with new tool developments and understand the potential risks their children face. They must also understand the limitations of the social media ban in protecting children from harm.<\/p>\n<p>This highlights the urgent need to revisit Australia\u2019s proposed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/do-big-tech-companies-have-a-duty-of-care-for-users-a-new-report-says-they-do-but-leaves-out-key-details-248995\">digital duty of care<\/a>\u00a0legislation. While the European Union and United Kingdom launched digital duty of care legislation in 2023, Australia\u2019s has been on hold since November 2024. This legislation would hold technology companies to account by legislating that they deal with harmful content, at source, to protect everyone.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio: <\/strong>Lisa M.
