About 26.2 percent of American households have a smart speaker. It can play NPR and tell you the weather. It can even read your kids a bedtime story. But some parents have expressed concern that as their kids start asking smart speakers for things, those kids might turn into "demanding little twerps." Or voice assistants will give inappropriate information. Or kids' privacy will be compromised by data collection. But what do researchers think might happen? And will kids even be able to differentiate when they're talking to a person or an AI-enabled smart speaker? We team up with KUOW's "Primed" to talk about how smart speakers affect modern parenting.
