Ethical Framework Established for Artificial Intelligence in Early Childhood Education
Researchers Jennifer J. Chen and Hui Li have published a new academic journal issue establishing ethical standards and developmental principles for the use of artificial intelligence in the education of children aged 3 to 8.
In the inaugural issue of the academic journal 'AI, Brain, and Child,' Jennifer J. Chen and Hui Li have presented a comprehensive ethical framework and developmental guide for the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the education of children between the ages of 3 and 8.
The published study evaluates the potential of artificial intelligence in personalized education and interactive learning processes while highlighting the ethical risks these technologies pose to children's cognitive and social development. The review, which synthesizes five different studies, emphasizes the necessity of a child-centered approach.
The researchers introduced the 'POWER' principles to regulate the governance and educational practices of artificial intelligence applications. Defined as Purposeful, Optimal, Wise, Ethical, and Responsible, these five principles aim to align technological integration with children's well-being, privacy, and safety.
The first issue of the journal includes comprehensive reviews by Berson and Berson, Liu et al., and Cai et al., as well as design frameworks developed by Nomisha Kurian and Sonia Tiwari.
