Parents increasingly use generative artificial intelligence (AI) for child care information. They value AI as a quick resource but cautiously integrate its advice with personal experience and expert guidance.
Area of Science:
- Parenting and Child Development
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Artificial Intelligence Applications
Background:
- Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is becoming a common tool for parents seeking information on child care and learning.
- Understanding how parents utilize GenAI and its impact on their decision-making and emotional experiences is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate how parents use GenAI for child care and learning information.
- To examine the influence of GenAI on parental decision-making processes.
- To explore the emotional responses of parents when using GenAI for child-related queries.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study involving 30 parents of children aged 0-3 years.
- Data collected via open-ended questionnaires.
- Inductive content analysis used for data interpretation.
Main Results:
- Parents utilize GenAI for rapid information and guidance, particularly during uncertain times, emergencies, or for developmental queries.
- GenAI is perceived as a valuable resource for health, care, behavior, development, and activity planning.
- Parental use of AI suggestions involves critical evaluation, integrating personal experience, child-specific needs, and professional advice.
Conclusions:
- Parents view GenAI as a convenient and accessible support tool for child care and learning information needs.
- GenAI is most frequently used for immediate answers and guidance, acting as a supplementary resource.
- Parents maintain a cautious approach, blending AI-generated information with their own judgment and expert recommendations, rather than replacing them.
