New York just banned AI chatbots from being kids' “friends”

Plus 3 things parents should know this week.

From 1 January, a chatbot in New York can't tell a child “I'm your friend”. Also in the video: Pokémon Unite is shutting down (spend those gems!), AI is quietly making laptops pricier, and there's a free Pikmin demo for Switch 2. A minute and a half, calm voice, every fact with a source.
