Some child advocates are clamoring for Mattel to halt production of a new “smart” Barbie that can have conversations with your kid. The toy is powered by voice recognition artificial intelligence that’s becoming increasingly prevalent in our everyday gadgets. The tech behind Barbie’s brains, developed by a company called ToyTalk, works basically just like Apple’s Siri voice assistant, except that it’s designed to listen to the way kids talk instead of the way adults talk. The company behind the technology says it will only use the conversations recorded through Hello Barbie to operate and improve our products.”]
