Project Description: Our goal is to understand adult perspectives on conversational AI agents and children. Conversational AI agents are an emerging and quickly changing technology for children, yet little is known about the perspectives of adult stakeholders with respect to different ways children may use these technologies. The survey aims to obtain the perspective of adult stakeholders on the various aspects of potential conversational AI agent use by children to inform the design of future systems such that they meet stakeholder expectations. 

Services Provided: Web panel survey, IRB support, survey programming & testing
