• Abstract: Understanding how children design and what they value in AI interfaces that allow them to explicitly train their models such as teachable machines, could help increase such activities' impact and guide the design of future technologies. In a co-design session using a modified storyboard, a team of 5 children (aged 7-13 years) and adult co-designers, engaged in AI problem formulation activities where they imagine their own teachable machines. Our findings, leveraging an established psychological value framework (the Rokeach Value Survey), illuminate how children conceptualize and embed their values in AI systems that they themselves devise to support their everyday activities. Specifically, we find that children's proposed ideas require advanced system intelligence, e.g. emotion detection and understanding the social relationships of a user. The underlying models could be trained under multiple modalities and any errors would be fixed by adding more data or by anticipating negative examples. Children's ideas showed they cared about family and expected machines to understand their social context before making decisions.

• Children's Mental Models of Generative Visual and Text Based AI Models [0.027961972519572442]
  Children ages 5-12 perceive, understand, and use generative AI models such as a text-based LLMs ChatGPT and a visual-based model DALL-E. We found that children generally have a very positive outlook towards AI and are excited about the ways AI may benefit and aid them in their everyday lives. We hope that these findings will shine a light on children's mental models of AI and provide insight for how to design the best possible tools for children who will inevitably be using AI in their lifetimes.

  Prominent ethical issues in high school AI education include data privacy, information leakage, abusive language, and fairness. This paper describes technological components that were built to address ethical and trustworthy concerns in a multi-modal collaborative platform. In data privacy, we want to ensure that the informed consent of children, parents, and teachers, is at the center of any data that is managed.

  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.
