AI Chatbot ‘Bluey-GPT’ Tells Personalized Bedtime Stories To Kids

Here is some interesting news from the world of artificial intelligence and children’s entertainment. There’s a new AI chatbot named ‘Bluey-GPT’ that’s making waves for its unique ability to tell bedtime stories to kids. 

Now, imagine a story session where the tales are not just any stories, but ones that feature your kid’s favorite characters, personalized with details like their name, age, and even aspects of their daily life.

This AI, developed by Luke Warner in London, goes beyond just spinning tales. It creates stories that feel real to the kids by including details like the name of their school or the weather outside. For example, if it’s cold, the story might mention that, making it more engaging for the child.

However, as intriguing as this technology is, it’s not without its concerns. Legal and ethical questions have been raised, especially regarding the use of popular characters like Bluey and her sister Bingo. 

You see, in storytelling apps like this, there’s a fine line between creating something new and infringing on existing copyrights. In the UK, legal protections for characters are quite strict, covering their names, backstories, mannerisms, and expressions.

Xuyang Zhu, a lawyer at Taylor Wessing, points out that replicating a character in a new context could infringe on these copyrights if it replicates enough of these character aspects. 

Moreover, while some story-making apps use generic characters or those in the public domain, the use of specific, well-known characters like in Bluey-GPT raises more trademark issues than copyright ones.

Another important concern is the safety of the content being generated for children. The stories created by these AI bots must be appropriate and safe for young listeners.
