Exploring Digital Privacy from a Child’s Perspective
Dr. Lauren N. Girouard - National Science Foundation postdoctoral research scholar
Join us for this Privacy@Michigan Event.
Conversations about children’s digital privacy are frequent, and with good reason: ad revenue to tech companies from child viewers topped 11 billion dollars in 2023. These conversations include policymakers, educators, researchers, and parents, but children themselves are rarely included. The purpose of this talk will therefore be to explore what we know about children’s own perspectives on their digital privacy, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover what they notice, care about, and understand as it relates to online privacy and data security, and what researchers can explore next to continue child-centered conversations about how best to keep children safe online.
Dr. Lauren N. Girouard is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research scholar at the University of Michigan and Harvard University, where she works with Drs. Susan Gelman, Ying Xu, and Jenny Radesky on projects examining children’s beliefs about AI chatbots and how those beliefs translate into digital literacy in home and classroom environments. She graduated with her PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Louisville in May 2024. Her work broadly examines how 4- to 17-year-old children think about, trust, and learn from emerging technologies and AI.
