Creating Opportunities for Children’s Critical Reflections on AI, Robotics and Other Intelligent Technologies at ICDC2020

(Original text from https://sites.google.com/view/idc2020wsai/ )

Robotics, automated systems and AI are gradually shaping novel techno-social realities especially in educational contexts.

However not enough space is being given to a critical reflection on the emerging ethical and social implications for designers/developers and the users, especially children.

This workshop will be running at the ACM Interaction Design and Children (IDC) conference 2020. We aim to create a space to discuss the current practices and the near future opportunities for the support of children’s reflections related to robotics, automated systems, and AI implied in educational environments.

We invite researchers from all disciplinary backgrounds to participate in the workshop, and submit an extended abstract to contribute to this discussion.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers/developers/practitioners/policy-makers who have interest in the current practices and policies of creating opportunities for children's reflections on AI, Robotics and other Intelligent Technologies.

We are looking for highly motivated people who have experience in this field and wish to share their thoughts and knowledge in a highly interactive event.
