AI / system type
Scripted social robot; Wizard-of-Oz elements, not live GenAI answers
Child-facing evidenceExamines children or child-focused systems. Transfer to everyday family life must be assessed separately.
The AI connection
Uses an embodied Furhat robot to model deceptive content relevant to GenAI educational risks.
Why this reading matters
Concrete illustration of why educational fluency and appearance are insufficient evidence of truth.
Editorial reading guide · Independence
How can I help my teenager question an authoritative-looking AI explanation?
Maps to Independence through critically evaluating plausible but deliberately false robot statements.
Study context
22 Japanese middle-school students interacting in small groups
Age / stage: 14–15 years
Read with three questions
- Which deception forms were scripted into teaching sessions?
- How were face appearance and social agency studied?
- Why is this not a measurement of live LLM hallucination rates?
Keep the limits in view
Small single-school sample, scripted one-way interactions and Wizard-of-Oz gaze; facial-condition findings should not become a general safety claim. No longitudinal critical-thinking outcome.
