London’s poverty charity, The Childhood Trust, along with the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, have announced a new joint research project on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and early childhood development.
It is being supported by the KPMG Foundation and The Ethos Foundation.
Starting this month, the study, ‘AI and Early Childhood Development – Exploring the Implications of Non-Human Conversational Agents for the Wellbeing and Mental Health of Disadvantaged Children’, is being led by Professor of neurodiversity and developmental psychology, Jenny Gibson, and Dr Emily Goodacre, a specialist in developmental psychology and child mental health.
