Description

Artificial Intelligence for the Early Years . This project aims to generate new knowledge about Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the early years. Education and care for young children (birth-to-8-years) is important for children's long-term developmental outcomes. AI is already being used by educators to assess children's development and provide suggested learning experiences in practice. It is also being applied in children's digital games and content. However, little is known about how AI interfaces with children's play, learning and developmental outcomes and how to ensure children are provided with AI that is safe, equitable and trustworthy. The research will inform a new AI for the Early Years Statement to inform adult-decision making about AI design and use with young children. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3903 - Education Systems. Lead: Prof Susan Edwards
