AI and being a toy tester: yes, that's a real job

Toy testers play with new toys to make sure they're safe and fun. AI helps too — robot 'kids' play with toys 1,000 times to find weak parts. Real kids then test the fun part. Best job ever.

Some examples

• Robot arms test toys for breakage
• AI checks no small pieces fall off
• AI guesses what age group will love it
• Real kids still vote on what's fun
