AI / system type

Direct parenting evidenceDirectly addresses parents or caregiving, including parent studies, syntheses and audits of parenting advice.
The AI connection
Examines caregivers’ perceptions of integrating AI into pediatric clinical medicine, not a specific model intervention.
Why this reading matters
Adds real caregiver perspectives to the governance debate and highlights differences in understanding and acceptance.
Editorial reading guide · Respect
What information and human involvement do caregivers expect before AI is used in a child’s care?
The survey emphasizes explanation and human supervision as conditions of acceptance, linking respect to informed participation rather than blanket technological approval.
Study context
Parents or grandparents attending tertiary pediatric clinics
Age / stage: Caregivers of pediatric patients; child ages vary
Read with three questions
- What concerns and conditions for acceptance did respondents express?
- How did attitudes differ by education?
- Why do these associations not establish actual AI safety or equitable access?
Keep the limits in view
The structured questionnaire and tertiary-clinic recruitment limit representativeness. Attitudes were self-reported and do not demonstrate actual system performance, behavior or child outcomes.
