C3AI Detailed 2nd Workshop Program
Half-Day Workshop (in the afternoon)
Workshop Programme
Time: 13:30–16:30
Introduction to the workshop goals, organisers, and activities. We will outline the challenges involved in evaluating child–AI interactions and present the objectives of the workshop.
Participants will briefly introduce themselves, their research interests, and their motivation for attending the workshop. This session aims to foster connections and identify common themes across different disciplines and perspectives.
Jason Yip will share insights from his work on participatory design with children and discuss implications for understanding and evaluating child–AI interactions.
A contribution from Ayça Atabey introducing a children's rights perspective on AI and highlighting key considerations for responsible design and evaluation.
Presentation of the child personas and interaction scenarios that will be analysed during the workshop. Participants will receive the materials and instructions for the group activity.
Working in small groups, participants will analyse child–AI interaction scenarios through the lenses of trust, children's rights, safety, agency, participation, and wellbeing.
Groups will be encouraged to identify:
Opportunities and risks emerging from the interaction;
Existing evaluation approaches that could be applied;
Aspects of the interaction that remain difficult to evaluate.
Building on the analysis, participants will collaboratively propose new metrics, methods, and evaluation approaches for child–AI interaction.
Presentation of key insights from each group, identification of common themes, and discussion of future directions for research and practice.
