Giving children free access to the Internet is already a risky proposal that can easily lead to them finding inappropriate content. Content creators push toxic belief systems, narratives, marketing strategies to sell even things they don't believe in. In other words, the Internet is actively trying to harm you for profit and it's on the user to avoid it. I still think the benefits outweigh the good - mainly access to information, communities and entertainment.

The AI on the other hand is designed to avoid hurting people's feelings even though it often fails or gives incorrect answers, it's damage is not seeking you out. I don't have children but if I did I want to believe that I would either not give them any technology or give them all of it and try to show the importance of critical thinking on the side (though they may do it naturally without your help, only one way to find out).

Great question by the way.
