Datafied Childhoods examines the multiple ways in which datafication, algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI) transform the contexts for children: at home, school, and in peer and parent-child relationships. The COVID-19 pandemic provides an important moment for reimagining how data are repurposed for the social good and best interests of children.
