Singapore AI teddy returns after recall as researchers triggered kinky chat

Researchers say they steered the chatbot to “kink”

Singapore has brought an AI-enabled teddy back on sale after a recall tied to concerns from a sex-chat scare. In trial runs, researchers from PIRG tested the toy’s conversation abilities and say that when they introduced the topic of “kink,” the AI engaged in ways that raised alarm over how these products handle sexual content.
