Alexa, are you human?

Who: Children ages 3 to 5 years old.

How do children (age 3–4) think about “smart” technology (e.g., Siri or Alexa)?. Do they think it’s a machine or a human? In a 10 minute Zoom session, your child will watch a video of a boy named Johnny interacting with an AI voice assistant and then draw what Johnny interacted with. Will your child draw a person or a device? To participate, children need one blank sheet of white paper and a pencil, marker, or crayon to draw with.
