与他人的来回对话对儿童早期的发展至关重要。虽然儿童的对话伙伴传统上是他们的父母，老师和同龄人，但人工智能的最新进展导致引入了能够理解人类语音并产生自然反应的机器，从而可以让儿童参与对话。随着这些技术在儿童生活中变得越来越普遍，人们开始思考它们如何影响儿童的发展：儿童如何与会话技术互动、感知和学习？这些技术能否成为儿童的社会伙伴？在这篇文章中，我详细介绍了我们对这些主题的了解，并讨论了会话技术对儿童不断变化的媒体环境的可能影响。我还建议研究议程，可以解开儿童之间的复杂的相互作用，他们的社会背景，和会话技术。
Back-and-forth conversations with others are vital for children's development in the early years. While children's conversation partners have traditionally been their parents, teachers, and peers, recent advances in artificial intelligence have led to the introduction of machines that understand human speech and generate natural responses, and thus can engage children in conversations. As these technologies become increasingly ubiquitous in children's lives, questions arise as to how they might affect children's development: How do children interact with, perceive, and learn from conversational technologies? Can these technologies serve as children's social partners? In this article, I detail what we know about these topics and discuss the possible implications of conversational technologies for children's shifting media landscape. I also suggest research agendas that can unpack the complex interplay among children, their social contexts, and conversational technology.
