Who Is in the Room? Stakeholder Perspectives on AI Recording in Pediatric Emergency Care
This addresses a critical gap in human-computer interaction for clinical settings, but it is incremental as it builds on existing HCI and ethics discussions without introducing new empirical data or methods.
The paper tackles the problem of missing stakeholder perspectives in AI recording systems for pediatric emergency care, arguing that this absence undermines the legitimacy and effectiveness of these technologies.
Artificial intelligence systems that record voice and video during pediatric emergencies are emerging as human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies with direct implications for clinical work, promising improvements in documentation, team performance, and post-event debriefing. Yet the perspectives of those most affected, including clinicians, parents, and child patients, remain largely absent from the design and governance of these technologies. This position paper argues that this has direct consequences for the legitimacy and effectiveness of these systems. We examine four areas where these missing perspectives prove consequential (consent, emotional impact, surveillance dynamics, and participatory governance) and propose four positions for reorienting AI recording in pediatric emergency care toward stakeholder-centered HCI inquiry.
