Miko Adds AI Off-Switch For Toys

Miko, a maker of AI-powered children's toys, said on Monday it will add an ON/OFF toggle to disable conversational AI in its Miko 3 and Miko Mini models after political pressure and probes over exposed AI-generated responses. Senators identified an accessible site containing thousands of the toys' responses, prompting criticism; the change gives parents direct control and addresses privacy and safety concerns.
