为被禁教育的女性设计安全可信赖的AI学习伙伴。
Designing Safe and Accountable GenAI as a Learning Companion with Women Banned from Formal Education

- 通过远程参与式设计,倾听阿富汗20名女性对AI学习助手的需求。
- 使用AI作为陪伴能显著提升女性自我效能与职业希望(p<0.05)。
- 强调隐私保护、文化适配和促进真实学习,而非快速给答案。
在性别限制与监控并存的环境中,女性接受正规教育面临安全与隐私风险。当女性被排除在学校和大学之外时,常转向在线自学和生成式人工智能(GenAI)以追求教育与职业目标。然而,我们对在监控、家庭责任及缺乏学习社群背景下所需的安全、可问责的GenAI支持知之甚少。本研究基于140人招募调查,开展远程参与式设计,访谈20名阿富汗女性,探讨她们如何构想GenAI用于学习与就业。参与者将GenAI视为始终可用的同伴、导师和职业指导者,以弥补学习社群缺失。但同时强调,隐私与监控风险、情境不切实际的文化不安全支持,以及直接给答案的互动会破坏学习,制造进步假象。参与设计过程显著提升了参与者的抱负(p=0.01)、自我效能感(p=0.01)和可行路径感知(p=0.03)。结果表明,可问责且安全的GenAI不仅是减害工具,更能主动赋能女性想象并追求可持续的学习与就业未来。据此提出以安全优先交互、资源受限下的情境化支持、符合教学逻辑的助学习方式为核心的可问责设计方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In gender-restrictive and surveilled contexts, where access to formal education may be restricted for women, pursuing education involves safety and privacy risks. When women are excluded from schools and universities, they often turn to online self-learning and generative AI (GenAI) to pursue their educational and career aspirations. However, we know little about what safe and accountable GenAI support is required in the context of surveillance, household responsibilities, and the absence of learning communities. We present a remote participatory design study with 20 women in Afghanistan, informed by a recruitment survey (n = 140), examining how participants envision GenAI for learning and employability. Participants describe using GenAI less as an information source and more as an always-available peer, mentor, and source of career guidance that helps compensate for the absence of learning communities. At the same time, they emphasize that this companionship is constrained by privacy and surveillance risks, contextually unrealistic and culturally unsafe support, and direct-answer interactions that can undermine learning by creating an illusion of progress. Beyond eliciting requirements, envisioning the future with GenAI through participatory design was positively associated with significant increases in participants' aspirations (p=.01), perceived agency (p=.01), and perceived avenues (p=.03). These outcomes show that accountable and safe GenAI is not only about harm reduction but can also actively enable women to imagine and pursue viable learning and employment futures. Building on this, we translate participants' proposals into accountability-focused design directions that center on safety-first interaction and user control, context-grounded support under constrained resources, and offer pedagogically aligned assistance that supports genuine learning rather than quick answers.
