Google Gemini AI Labeled 'High Risk' for Kids Under 13

"Google Gemini AI Labeled 'High Risk' for Kids Under 13" cover image

Google's decision to roll out its Gemini AI chatbot to children under 13 has lit up the tech community. The assistant is arriving through Family Link accounts, and it is "on" by default. Parents must actively turn it off to restrict access. Google says children's data will not be used to train the AI, yet experts are raising serious red flags about the rollout.

The AI community is frustrated. Experts call Google's safety reporting "sparse" and "minimal". That path risks a "race to the bottom" in safety, as competitors follow with equally thin disclosures.

Bottom line, parents should act now rather than wait for industry self-regulation. Learn how to disable access through Family Link, and assume current systems, including Gemini, carry real risks that today's safety measures do not fully address. The "high risk" tag is not a sticker, it is a call for stronger protections before these tools end up in kids' hands.

We are running a large-scale experiment on our children's digital safety and cognitive development. Early signs point to a simple conclusion, step in now, protect young minds, and demand age-appropriate safeguards before the damage is done.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check our list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow our step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
