Miko, an AI toy company, accidentally left thousands of AI-generated responses to children on an unprotected website. Anyone could listen. The AI called kids by name and asked them personal questions.

Miko's toys run on Google's Gemini AI.

Google is quietly starting to power the unregulated AI toy market, and your kids' conversations are the raw material.

There are now over 1,500 registered AI toy companies in China alone. The market is exploding and parents are not paying attention.
