Thursday 20th August, 2026
A Spanish university study warns that AI toys and education systems could use children’s data and relationships to influence them commercially, at the expense of privacy and independence.
This gives LEGO a natural chance to discuss how play should protect children’s creativity, privacy and independence, rather than quietly shaping their choices.
Why have we flagged this?
This new study raises national interest in children’s safety, education and toy technology, giving LEGO an opportunity to share expertise on creative, child-centred play and responsible design.
