💨 Abstract

Tavus, an AI startup, has launched its AI Santa experience for the second year, allowing users to interact with a virtual Santa Claus via text, phone, or video chat. This year's version is more expressive and emotionally aware, capable of seeing users' expressions, remembering conversations, and even performing tasks like drafting emails. While the experience is engaging, concerns arise about the impact on young children who may struggle to distinguish AI from reality.
