C3AI: Responsible AI for Children: Trust, Agency, Inclusion, and Evaluation (CHI 2027)
We invite researchers, designers, educators, clinicians, practitioners, policymakers, parents, caregivers, teachers, students, and advocates to join the 3rd C3AI workshop, Responsible AI for Children: Trust, Critical Engagement, Agency, and Inclusion, at CHI 2027. The workshop examines how children can establish appropriate trust, critically engage with AI, and retain meaningful agency when interacting with increasingly capable AI systems, while considering the roles of parents, caregivers, educators, and other adult stakeholders.
The workshop will open with an invited talk by Randi Williams on children, AI literacy, and Responsible AI, followed by lightning talks, stakeholder-oriented scenario analysis, group discussion, and collaborative synthesis. We welcome 2--4 page position papers, case studies, design provocations, methodological reflections, or evaluation challenges on topics including trust calibration, critical AI literacy, agency, transparency, privacy, emotional safety, children’s rights, human oversight, accessibility, neurodiversity, participatory design, and evaluation methods. Submissions should be sent through the workshop website: \textbf{URL}. Accepted submissions may inform a post-workshop report and may be invited for further development as part of a planned IJCCI special issue, subject to the journal’s review process.
If you want to contribute to the workshop discussion, please send an email to grazia.ragone@uniba.it

Case studies may be used during the group activity depending on time.
Short contributions outlining ideas, early insights, or discussion prompts.
