Google’s Opening Up Gemini AI for Kids Under 13. Start Clutching Your Pearls.

In the nostalgic days of the 1990s internet, parents were left to fend for themselves as their children navigated the vast, unfiltered world of the World Wide Web. Now, with generative AI tools like ChatGPT reshaping how we interact with technology, Google has stepped in to protect its own future generation, launching a kid-friendly version called Gemini for users under 13. Parents can control access through Google Family Link and discuss AI's ethics with their kids before letting them explore this new tool. While some accounts already have Gemini set up, not all are available yet, with plans to expand access gradually.
