Conceptual paper explores childhood cultural learning using algorithmically mediated enculturation in AI contexts, suggesting a new framework.
This conceptual paper introduces the framework of ChildTech Anthropology and proposes the concept of algorithmically mediated enculturation as a new analytical perspective for understanding childhood cultural learning in AI-mediated environments. Integrating cultural anthropology, digital anthropology, mediatization theory, childhood studies, and AI ethics, the study examines how algorithmic systems increasingly participate in structuring children’s experiential worlds.
