As adults we know that chatbots are not human, but certainly children and young people do not see it that way. I am reminded of the experience of generating a quiz on a long car journey with my young children using one of these AI platforms, and my children literally thinking that they were speaking to an adult when that was not the case. A study by the University of Cambridge has found that many children see chatbots as quasi-human and therefore trustworthy, but it is key that we remember that they do not have human empathy.
