AI sandbox Lilo teaches children digital communication skills

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Lilo, a multi-agent conversational system designed to help children aged 9-11 practice navigating digital communication and peer conflicts. The system simulates a group chat scenario where a child joins two AI-driven peers engaged in an argument, guided by a mentor character. An exploratory study with 28 children indicated that Lilo significantly improved their self-efficacy in handling unpleasant digital messages, providing a safe space for experimentation. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel approach to teaching digital communication and conflict resolution skills to children through AI simulation.

    arXiv:2611.14260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Children's peer conflicts increasingly play out in group chats, where tone and timing are stripped away, and a hurtful message is easier to send than to say aloud. We present Lilo, a multi-agent conversational system that lets chi…
