We introduce AIR4Children, Artificial Intelligence for Children, as a way to (a) tackle aspects for inclusion, accessibility, transparency, equity, fairness and participation and (b) to create affordable child-centred materials in AI and…
In this paper, we present a pilot study aiming to investigate the challenges of teaching AI and Robotics to children in low- and middle-income countries. Challenges such as the little to none experts and the limited resources in a Mexican…
Understanding and modelling children's cognitive processes and their behaviour in the context of their interaction with robots and social artificial intelligence systems is a fundamental prerequisite for meaningful and effective robot…
This study evaluates the integration of AI-powered robots in early childhood education, focusing on their impact on emotional self-regulation, engagement, and collaborative skills. A ten-week experimental design involving two groups of…
Early childhood classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse, with students spanning a range of linguistic backgrounds and abilities. AI offers innovative tools to help educators create more inclusive learning environments by breaking down…
Teaching programming in early childhood (4-9) to enhance computational thinking has gained popularity in the recent movement of computer science for all. However, current practices ignore some fundamental issues resulting from young…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, with many children having increased exposure to AI technologies in daily life. We aimed to understand middle school girls' (a group often excluded group in tech) perceptions and knowledge gaps…
We explore ideas and inclusive practices for designing and testing child-centered artificially intelligent technologies for neurodivergent children. AI is promising for supporting social communication, self-regulation, and sensory…
AI technology development has transformed the field of engineering education with its adaptivity-driven, data-based, and ethical-led learning platforms that promote equity, diversity, and inclusivity. But with so much progress being made in…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) education is an increasingly popular topic area for K-12 teachers. However, little research has investigated how AI education can be designed to be more accessible to all learners. We organized co-design…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for online recruitment markets have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of job placements and even promote fairness or inclusive hiring practices. Neglecting Diversity…
Learning companion robots for young children are increasingly adopted in informal learning environments. Although parents play a pivotal role in their children's learning, very little is known about how parents prefer to incorporate robots…
Emphasizing problem formulation in AI literacy activities with children is vital, yet we lack empirical studies on their structure and affordances. We propose that participatory design involving teachable machines facilitates problem…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been applied in various domains, including early childhood education (ECE). Integration of AI educational technology is a recent significant trend in ECE. Currently, there are more and more…
This report explores the potential implications of rapidly integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications into children's environments. The introduction of AI in our daily lives necessitates scrutiny considering the significant role…
Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a game-changer in today's technology landscape. However, the integration of AI education in classroom curricula currently lags behind, leaving teenagers inadequately prepared for an imminent…
To date, there has been little concrete practical advice about how to ensure that diversity and inclusion considerations should be embedded within both specific Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and the larger global AI ecosystem. In…
This paper presents a new approach to engaging children in Nigeria to share their views of AI. This approach is centered on an inclusive writing contest for children in a secondary school in Abuja to write about AI to compete for prizes and…
AI-assisted learning companion robots are increasingly used in early education. Many parents express concerns about content appropriateness, while they also value how AI and robots could supplement their limited skill, time, and energy to…
Creative coding platforms like Scratch have democratized programming for children, yet translating imaginative ideas into functional code remains a significant hurdle for many young learners. While AI copilots assist adult programmers, few…
