COBY’s Child-Safe Voice AI Architecture for Bedtime Routines

Security Sutra · 2026-01-30

Episode notes

COBY’s approach to child-facing voice AI treats safety, privacy, and trust as architecture decisions. The system earns trust before prompting coping conversations, enforces pre-release safety gates through adversarial simulations and expert validation, and preserves privacy with EU-hosted inference plus parent-phone background processing. Success is measured in household outcomes: time-to-bed, evening conflicts, and homework minutes. - Trust must be earned before coping prompts work - Safety requires adversarial testing and expert validation before release - Privacy-first means compute placement and EU-hosted control.
