Smart algorithms in the Arab child's room: From Smart Learning to Impactful Play An analytical study of the impact of smart technology and the dynamics of adaptation, confrontation in the context of digital exploitation of the child

Abstract

This study seeks to analyse the growing effects of smart algorithms in the Arab child's environment, by focusing on their intensive presence in digital educational and entertainment applications, and the transformations they create in the functions of child-oriented media. Based on a multidimensional analytical approach, the study adopts the descriptive-analytical approach to understand the dynamics of the relationship between artificial intelligence and educational media practices, based on the analysis of digital content and algorithmic interaction models within the smart media environment, The study aims to characterise how algorithms are reshaping the cognitive and behavioural interaction of the Arab child, in light of the increasing overlap between education, entertainment, and invisible commercial exploitation.
