Mass Death of Children's Robots Expected in the USA

December 13, 2024

Preparations are underway in the USA for the mass death of children's robots. The startup Embodied, which sold thousands of AI robot friends Moxie for children aged 5 to 10, has announced its closure. Now parents do not know how to explain to their children that their robot friend will die in a few days. Moreover, the startup offers no guarantee for the refund of the robots' cost - $800. Embodied explained the project closure by an unsuccessful "critical funding round".
