• Abstract: Voice Personal Assistants (VPA) have become a common household appliance. As one of the leading platforms for VPA technology, Amazon created Alexa and designed Amazon Kids for children to safely enjoy the rich functionalities of VPA and for parents to monitor their kids' activities through the Parent Dashboard. Although this ecosystem is in place, the usage of Parent Dashboard is not yet popularized among parents. In this paper, we conduct a parent survey to find out what they like and dislike about the current parental control features. We find that parents need more visuals about their children's activity, easier access to security features for their children, and a better user interface. Based on the insights from our survey, we present a new design for the Parent Dashboard considering the parents' expectations.

  AI-based storytelling and reading technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in preschoolers' lives. This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling and reading scenarios and, how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them. Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling and reading technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations due to a series of interactive and algorithmic challenges.
