Google could soon extend access to its Gemini generative artificial intelligence chatbot to children. Currently reserved for users over the age of 13, Gemini is reportedly being adapted to meet the needs of younger users.

Today, users must be at least 13 years old to use Gemini with a personal account. However, it is possible that younger children could soon be able to access a more age-appropriate version of Google's generative AI chatbot. In fact, by analyzing the code of the Google app for Android, the Android Authority website has discovered several occurrences referencing "kid users." The appearance of these references suggests that a "Gemini for Kids” project could be under development, even if it has not yet been made official by Google.
