Consumer baby monitors now use AI to track speech, motor skills, and health metrics from infancy through childhood.
Engineers building or integrating IoT health devices must account for heightened privacy risks when processing biometric data from minors. The expansion of these systems into long-term behavioral tracking creates new attack surfaces and regulatory exposure. If adopted at scale, such platforms could normalize pervasive surveillance in domestic environments.
