Oxford CCAI to lead a new UKRI grant

Oxford CCAI is to lead a new project, togeter with UCI and Oxford Philosophy, to address the pressing issue of fostering children’s digital autonomy in societies where childhood has become intricately intertwined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, for instance through connected toys, apps, voice assistants, and online learning platforms.

The two-year project, CHAILD – Children’s Agency In the age of AI: Leveraging InterDisciplinarity, is funded by the first round of UKRI’s new cross research council responsive mode (CRCRM) pilot scheme. The CRCRM scheme has been developed to support emerging ideas from the research community that transcend, combine or significantly span disciplines, to ensure all forms of interdisciplinary research have a home within UKRI. This provides unique opportunities for interdisciplinary research projects like CHAILD.
