As children face global challenges, creating environments that nurture hope and empower them to shape a fair, transparent future is essential.Conversational AI systems (CAIs) offer opportunities for cognitive and emotional growth, with trust built through transparent, responsive interactions.This workshop offers participants a hands-on opportunity to analyze child-CAI interactions, bringing their own use cases alongside pre-recorded examples from five countries provided by organizers.In collaboration with a diverse group of stakeholders, the focus will be on identifying the human factors that influence trust in child-AI interactions, aiming to advance guidelines for building transparent, trustworthy conversational AI systems.
