- Abstract summary: New advances in artificial intelligence have sparked a surge of AI-based storytelling technologies.
This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling scenarios and how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them.
Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations.

- Abstract: Interactive storytelling is vital for preschooler development. While
children's interactive partners have traditionally been their parents and
teachers, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked a surge
of AI-based storytelling technologies. As these technologies become
increasingly ubiquitous in preschoolers' lives, questions arise regarding how
they function in practical storytelling scenarios and, in particular, how
parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive these
technologies. This paper investigates these questions through a qualitative
study with 17 parents of children aged 3-6. Our findings suggest that even
though AI-based storytelling technologies provide more immersive and engaging
interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations due to a series of
interactive, functional, and algorithmic challenges. We elaborate on these
challenges and discuss the possible implications of future AI-based
storytelling technologies for preschoolers. We conclude by highlighting the
design implications for future AI-based storytelling technologies.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society.
A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests.
This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
