Google Gemini AI Available to Kids With Parental Controls

Google is set to introduce its Gemini AI assistant to children, aiming to enhance their homework experience.

Parents of Family Link-supervised kids under 13 will soon receive access to Gemini apps on Android, iOS, and web platforms.

However, Google has advised parents on managing their children’s interaction with this powerful yet imperfect tool.

Google’s advice on Gemini for kids

Google’s guidance to parents aligns with the support post titled “Manage your child’s access to Gemini Apps.”

Parents are cautioned that Gemini is still evolving and may make errors, potentially missing inappropriate content.

Google urges parents to encourage their children to think critically about Gemini’s responses and not to disclose sensitive information to the assistant.

It is emphasized that children should be aware that Gemini is not human and that they should verify its responses before accepting them as accurate.

How to activate or deactivate Gemini for kids

The advice provided does not serve as a strong endorsement of Google’s AI assistant, but it is crucial information for parents.

Thankfully, Google offers a simple process for parents to enable or disable Gemini for their children.

By navigating to the Family Link website or app, selecting the child’s profile, and accessing Controls > Gemini > Gemini Apps, parents can easily toggle the feature on or off.
