Children increasingly use applications utilizing Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML). Given the propensity of such applications to propagate existing social, gender, and racial biases, it becomes imperative to consider designing and developing child-centered AI applications for children. Furthermore, children should have opportunities and skills to critically reflect on current applications and envision and design better AI/ML applications that are ethical, specifically, those that are inclusive and fair. In our work, we focus on child-centered AI and inclusion. Using a two-fanged approach to inclusion and employing design futuring in our research with schools in India and Finland, children critically considered future technology design for all. In this paper, we present three cases of this work: a study with students at a school in New Delhi and two studies with students at schools in Oulu. Our work showcases how to design for inclusion - by designing for all, and how to design inclusively - by inviting children to envision the future, through design futuring approaches.
翻译:儿童越来越多地使用基于人工智能/机器学习(AI/ML)的应用程序。鉴于此类应用程序存在传播现有社会、性别和种族偏见的倾向,为儿童设计和开发以儿童为中心的AI应用程序变得至关重要。此外,儿童应具备批判性反思当前应用、构想并设计更具伦理性的AI/ML应用(尤其是包容性和公平性应用)的机会与能力。在我们的工作中,我们聚焦于儿童中心AI与包容性设计。通过在印度和芬兰学校中采用双重包容性方法并运用设计未来学,儿童得以批判性地思考面向所有人的未来技术设计。本文展示了三项相关案例:一项在新德里某学校展开的学生研究,以及两项在奥卢某学校进行的学生研究。我们的工作既揭示了如何通过"为所有人设计"实现包容性设计,也展示了如何通过设计未来学方法邀请儿童构想未来,从而实现包容性地设计。
