AI in Early Childhood: Posthuman Perspectives on Digital Practices Across Children’s Geographies
Fri, April 10, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 2Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This symposium brings together four studies that explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and early childhood contexts, viewed through the lens of posthuman theories. By examining AI’s role across diverse environments—homes, classrooms, and educator/researcher practices—the symposium critically engages with how AI technologies are shaping, and are shaped by, early childhood learning and labor.
