From Newsweek:
The concept of toys that talk back may sound more reminiscent of a horror movie than of playtime as a child for some generations. But playtime is about to change. With AI already changing the ways we think, date, and work, the technological revolution is set to change another aspect of everyday life, the way children play.
Enter: AI-powered toys. Newsweek spoke to experts about the pros and cons of big AI in the littlest of hands. Smart AI toys are currently valued at $34.87 billion, according to the research firm Market Research Future, which projects that the market valuation will reach $270 billion by 2035. China accounts for some 40 percent of that growth, as per a report from the Global Times.
