A report by Common Sense Media argues that Google's AI platform, Gemini, poses "high risks" for children despite attempts to implement safety filters. Senior Director Robbie Torney noted that both Gemini Under 13 and Gemini with teen protections resemble adult versions, failing to address developmental differences among children. The report advises against chatbot use for kids under 5, recommends adult supervision for ages 6-12, and restricts independent use for older teens strictly to educational tasks.
