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).
