In 1962, Hanna-Barbera Productions released an animated sitcom called The Jetsons . A key character of this show was Rosie - a robotic maid that did all of the daily housework in the home, some childrearing, and provided the family plenty of laughter. She was, by all accounts, a member of the family. Now, about sixty years later, many families are finding themselves with the option to have their very own Rosie – at least a basic one – in the form of Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c1d5cc5fb033710879e004/1640537500765-9C1ALWJTWM2AP0BB4C4X/unsplash-image-LKRSUMDI5NA.jpg Rosie - Why Virtual Assistants? Virtual assistants are applications that rely on artificial intelligence to understand voice commands. They carry out tasks for users, such as looking for information, and are becoming increasingly populary around the globe. For many, it was the introduction to Apple’s Siri that started the conversation about virtual assistants – but undoubtedly, the spread to physical devices like smart speakers has elevated their accessibility and use. In the Netherlands, this is particularly the case for Google Assistant, which is available in Dutch language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c1d5cc5fb033710879e004/1640537419536-0MEBHY2G7VVJBKWL16UD/unsplash-image-UU_SJm_D6lw.jpg Rosie - Why Families? Early indicators show that the worldwide phenomenon of virtual assistants may have found an interesting niche in families with young children. More and more kids-versions of devices and services (e.g., Echo Dot Kids, Family Link) are launched for young users and their parents. And recent estimates show that access to virtual assistants among children has grown by 13% in the past years. Last but not least, recent public policy efforts led by UNICEF and other initiatives are put in place to develop guidelines for artificial Intelligence and children, which makes this population a meaningful one to study. https://rebeccawald.me/teaching daily 0.75 2025-01-08
