The big idea
Some LEGO sets, talking dolls, and robot pets have small AI inside that lets them respond to your voice or movement. They're not as smart as a phone AI — but they're growing fast.
Some examples
- LEGO Mindstorms and SPIKE robots react with simple AI.
- Some talking dolls can have short conversations.
- Robot dogs and cats can recognize your voice.
- Smart toys sometimes send your voice to the cloud — ask before sharing.
Try it!
Look at a smart toy you have (or in a store). Ask: does it need WiFi? That's a clue it talks to AI!
