Google has announced that children under 13 years old, with an account lying under the control of Google Family Link, will soon have access to chatbot Gemini on Android devices. It was reported by Verge. The launch will start next week, allowing young users to use to help family duties, create essays or answers for questions.
Family links are a Google service that helps parents control children's activities, establish limitations and block unwanted content.
The company emphasizes safety: These children will not be used to teach anyone and strict content restrictions are provided to younger users. Google advises parents to explain to children that Gemini is not a person, but a program that may be confused and does not share personal information with it. Parents will be able to disable access to chatbot through applications or family linkages.
The decision has caused discussions, because the BOT AI, including Gemini, sometimes offers incorrect points or unwanted content.
