*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) research is focused on cultivating,
nurturing, and nudging children towards technology use and design.
Recently, ethical aspects related to technology have come to the
forefront, including the inherent limitations of technology,
particularly related to Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine
learning (ML). Further, AI has a known diversity problem where
age-inclusion can be sometimes forgotten. While various global and
national policy frameworks on Children and AI are being developed, the
approaches are child-centered but not child-led, restricting children
from affecting their own digital futures. Further still, there is little
discussion with children on the limitations, inherent biases, and lack
of diversity in current design and development of AI/ML. As AI evolves
to mimic human-like cognition, emotions, conversations, and
decision-making, its impact on children and their futures should be
critically examined for, with, and by children.
Therefore, we invite researchers working on the various challenges and
opportunities related to Children and AI/ ML to submit their work to
this special issue. We welcome research that includes children as equal
partners and empowers them to consider present and future challenges as
experts of their own lives, with diverse interests, backgrounds,
perspectives, and experiences. We also welcome research and design work
with (but not limited to) educators, families, children (as testers,
co-designers, co-researchers, protagonists), and other stakeholders in a
variety of contexts (schools, after-school clubs, out of school
contexts, public spaces, rural, urban).
-----------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Suggested topics include theories,models, frameworks, exploratory
studies, case / user studies on (but not limited to):
• Research on and with Children and AI/ML
• AI Literacy for Al
• Children’s rights and AI
• Ethical AI for children
• Participatory Design and Research with intelligent systems
• Inclusion, diversity, and empowerment of under-represented children
and communities.
