    Can a chatbot become your best friend? Join us as we explore the intriguing world of AI chatbots and the deep emotional connections they can sometimes spark, especially among kids and families. In this episode of AI for Kids, we dive into the potential risks these digital companions bring to our lives, while highlighting the importance of nurturing genuine human relationships.

Together, we'll work to keep AI chatbots a fun and educational part of life, while safeguarding the irreplaceable support and care of human connections.
