Google is reportedly working on a kid-friendly version of its Gemini AI, designed to provide young users with a safer and more controlled experience. A recent analysis of the Google app (version 16.12.39) revealed references to “kid users,” suggesting that a specialized feature for children may be in development.
Gemini AI already helps users create stories, answer questions, and assist with homework. However, the child-friendly version is expected to have stricter content policies and enhanced safety measures to ensure age-appropriate interactions.
Google has previously implemented safety controls for teenage users, and it is likely that Gemini for Kids will introduce even tighter restrictions and improved content moderation.
The exact details of its implementation remain unclear. However, the feature may automatically apply to Google accounts registered under a child’s name. Given global regulations on data collection for minors, Google is expected to process children’s data in compliance with its privacy policies and the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice.
As AI becomes more integrated into education and everyday life, a safer, child-focused version of Gemini could offer a secure way for children to interact with technology while giving parents greater peace of mind.
