The Tragic Death of Moxie: A Cautionary Tale of Cloud-Based AI for Kids
The Moxie robot that used cloud processing for a large language model is being unceremoniously shut down by the owners, demonstrating that Apple's on-device approach is right. The death of this AI-based robotic companion for children with autism shows that local processing could have avoided this shutdown.
The Moxie robot, designed to be an AI-based companion for children, is being shut down by its owners, leaving parents and children to deal with the loss of a tool that helped with social development. The company behind the robot, Embodied, is also shutting down due to financial challenges. Apple's on-device approach could have avoided this issue if implemented in Moxie's design.
