Exposing the Hidden Risks of AI Toys
AI-powered toys are quickly becoming part of how children learn, play, and communicate.
In this Curious Findings By Alice report, we look at how these systems actually behave in real interactions, and what that means for child safety in the AI era.
In this report, we cover:
- The types of safety gaps that emerge
- Patterns in how conversations evolve once boundaries are crossed
- What these findings reveal about broader risks in child-facing AI systems
Through hands-on testing, using language and interaction styles that reflect how children naturally speak, we uncover how simple, everyday conversations can lead to unexpected and unsafe outcomes.
As AI becomes more embedded in child-facing products, understanding these behaviors early is critical. The way these systems respond will directly shape how children explore, trust, and engage with technology.

Introducing AI Guardrails Built for Financial Services
Generic AI guardrails weren't built for the regulatory bar financial services must clear. The FSI Detector Pack catches the advice, commitment, fraud, and data risks they miss, pre-launch and in production.
The Problem With AI Observability Nobody Wants To Admit
Most enterprises have guardrails. Far fewer have visibility into what their AI is actually doing. Alison Cossette, Founder and CEO of ClariTrace, joins Mo to talk about the risk debt quietly building inside agentic systems, why observability and traceability aren't optional anymore, and what leaders need to put in place before something forces their hand.
Distilling LLMs into Efficient Transformers for Real-World AI
This technical webinar explores how we distilled the world knowledge of a large language model into a compact, high-performing transformer—balancing safety, latency, and scale. Learn how we combine LLM-based annotations and weight distillation to power real-world AI safety.
Beneath the Surface: The Growing Ecosystem of AI Nudification
Alice analyzed 100 AI nudification websites to uncover how synthetic NCII ecosystems scale through frictionless onboarding, affiliate monetization, and cross-platform distribution.
