Here is what the page “Eiliko AI robot toy stores kids’ secrets on Chinese servers, researchers warn” contains. A new AI-powered robot toy called Eiliko is raising serious privacy and security concerns. The cute, marshmallow-shaped digital pet can change its cartoony expressions to match a child’s mood, but when connected over Wi-Fi, it sends conversations and personal data to servers in China. Security researchers warn that the device stores literally everything a child tells it on Chinese infrastructure, where the information could be vulnerable to hacking or misuse.
Parents may not realize that their children’s private chats, moods, and daily routines are being transmitted abroad. The toy’s companion AI is designed to build emotional bonds, making kids more likely to share secrets. With no clear data retention or encryption policies, experts say the risks outweigh the benefits. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
