Abstract

Based on Folk theory, Media Equation, and AI literacy research, the study constructed an interview outline and selected 72 students in 4th and 5th grade in three primary schools located in the Minhang and Putuo districts of Shanghai (two in the Minhang district and one in the Putuo district) as the study participants for focus group interviews. The study found that the availability of voice interaction is an essential basis for children to judge the level of intelligence of a machine; additionally, chatting is also the starting point for young children to build a close relationship with AI. Although AI cannot replace their friends, it can become a friend to them. While children expect the future of AI to be beyond the current level of intelligence and emotion and to enable the full use of machines in multiple scenarios and various fields, they are also concerned about issues such as privacy breaches that devices may cause in the future and believe that technology should not develop outside of human control.

现实与期望：孩子们对人工智能的感知和想象

摘要

本研究基于民俗理论、媒体方程和人工智能素养研究，构建了访谈提纲，选取了上海闵行区和普陀区三所小学（闵行区两所，上海市一所）的 72 名四年级和五年级学生。普陀区）作为研究参与者进行焦点小组访谈。研究发现，能否进行语音交互是儿童判断机器智能水平的重要依据；此外，聊天也是幼儿与AI建立亲密关系的起点。虽然人工智能不能取代他们的朋友，但它可以成为他们的朋友。孩子们虽然期待人工智能的未来能够超越目前的智能和情感水平，让机器在多场景、多领域得到充分利用，但他们也担心设备未来可能造成的隐私泄露等问题。相信技术的发展不应脱离人类的控制。
