How much AI time is too much for a 9-year-old?

There's no evidence-backed universal number, and anyone quoting one precisely is guessing. The more answerable version: is it displacing sleep, movement, homework, or people? If not, and if the child is producing things rather than consuming, you're likely in reasonable territory.

Does creative AI use really count as 'good' screen time?

When the child is making decisions, testing results, and fixing what's wrong — yes, that's active learning that happens to be on a screen. When the AI is doing the thinking and the child is watching, it's consumption with extra steps.

My child wants to just chat with the AI. Is that harmful?

Not inherently, but it's the mode with the least to show for it and no natural end. Steer it toward a purpose — build something, explain something, solve something — and it becomes a much better use of the same minutes.

Should AI time count inside their normal screen limit?

Split it. Passive AI belongs in the same bucket as video; project-based creation is closer to homework or a craft. Lumping them together is what makes the limit feel arbitrary to your child — because it is.
