“Smart parenting: Effortless routine engagement with AI support: A quantitative study”

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into parenting practices has gained significant attention, but there is limited understanding of how demographic factors influence the engagement and perceptions of AI-assisted parenting. This study aims to address this gap by examining the demographic profile of individuals engaging in AI-assisted parenting practices and exploring their perceptions of this new trend. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Palestinian parents to collect data on demographic variables such as gender, faculty affiliation, educational background, academic title, age distribution, and number of children. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, t tests, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that participants were significantly more engaged in AI-assisted parenting, but their perceptions of AI-assisted parenting were moderate. Interestingly, neither their involvement in AI-assisted parenting nor their perceptions were significantly impacted by most of the demographic characteristics examined. However, age and academic affiliation were significant variables, especially for the younger population and those affiliated with scientific faculties. This study provides valuable insights into the demographic characteristics of individuals engaging in AI-assisted parenting practices in Palestine and underscores the importance of considering demographic factors in understanding and promoting AI adoption. The study suggested that integrating AI-assisted parenting practices into educational programs can promote the inclusive adoption of AI technologies. This finding emphasizes the need for user-friendly and culturally sensitive AI tools, ensuring broader acceptance and utilization of AI-assisted parenting practices.
