Abstract

As generative AI-based educational content and services targeting child users rapidly increase, the need for research related to children's perception of generative AI is increasing. Accordingly, this study sought to determine the type of generative AI recognized by children and whether cognitive, behavioral, and emotional properties were assigned to it. To understand this, we collected responses through workshop activities to create storybooks with children, semi-structured interviews, and drawing. As a result, children viewed generative AI as an artifact with a high cognitive level, but it was not a type of existing artifact.

아동 사용자를 대상으로 한 생성형 AI 기반 교육 콘텐츠와 서비스가 급증함에 따라 생성형 AI에 대한 아동의 인식과 관련된 연구의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 아동이 인식하는 생성형 AI의 유형 분류, 인지적, 행동적, 감정적 속성 부여 여부를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 파악하기 위해 아동들과 함께 생성형 AI를 이용해 동화책을 생성해보는 워크샵을 진행하고, 반구조화 인터뷰와 그림 그리기를 통한 응답을 수집하였다. 그 결과 아동들은 생성형 AI를 인지적 수준이 높은 인공물로 여겼지만, 생성형 AI를 통해 창작되는 결과물에 의존한 유형 분류의 모습을 보였다.
