Yapay Zekâ Destekli Anlatı Sistemlerinde Çocukluk, Etik ve Bilgi Üretimi

Abstract

Bu makale, çocuklara yönelik geliştirilen yapay zekâ destekli anlatı sistemlerini etik ve epistemolojik bir çerçevede incelemektedir. Özellikle ChatGPT, StoryWizard.ai, Tiny Tales gibi sistemlerin çocuklar için hikâye üretim süreçleri analiz edilerek bu içeriklerin bilgi değeri, etik sorumluluğu ve çocuklukla kurduğu ilişki sorgulanmaktadır. Anlatıcının anonimleşmesi, niyet ve bağlamdan bağımsız anlatıların artışı, çocuk edebiyatında anlam üretimi ve değer aktarımını riske atmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, klasik anlatı kuramı, erdem etiği, sosyal yapısalcı epistemoloji ve medya kuramı gibi yaklaşımlar üzerinden, makine tarafından üretilen hikâyelerin taşıdığı kültürel ve pedagojik anlam derinlemesine incelenmiştir. Araştırma, posthümanist anlatıbilim, ideolojik çağırım ve çocukluk ontolojisi kavramlarını bir araya getirerek çok disiplinli bir analiz sunmaktadır. Tartışma bölümü, yapay zekâ destekli anlatı sistemlerinin çocukluk kavramını nasıl dönüştürdüğünü, anlatının öznesini nasıl yeniden tanımladığını ve bu süreçte beşerî bilimlerin nasıl bir müdahale alanı yaratabileceğini değerlendirmektedir. Makale, teknolojik gelişmelerin etik ve kültürel boyutlarını görmezden gelmeden, çocuklara yönelik dijital içerik üretiminde çok disiplinli ve eleştirel bir yaklaşımın gerekliliğini savunmaktadır.

Childhood, Ethics, and Knowledge Production in AI-Supported Narrative Systems

Abstract

This article examines AI-supported storytelling systems developed for children through an ethical and epistemological lens. By analysing the story-generation processes of platforms such as ChatGPT, StoryWizard.ai, and Tiny Tales, it explores the knowledge status, ethical responsibility, and the shifting construction of childhood embedded within these narratives. The anonymisation of narrators and the detachment of stories from intentionality and context pose significant risks to meaning-making and value transmission in children’s literature. Drawing on narrative theory, virtue ethics, social constructivist epistemology, and media theory, the paper critically investigates the pedagogical and cultural implications of machine-generated stories. This research brings together concepts from posthuman narratology, ideological interpellation processes, an childhood ontology to provide a multidisciplinary analysis. The discussion section addresses how AI-driven narratives redefine the concept of childhood, transform the role of the narrator, and open new spaces for humanistic critique. By highlighting the socio-cultural stakes of automated storytelling, this article argues for a multi-disciplinary, ethically grounded approach to digital content production for children that moves beyond technical efficiency to embrace meaning, responsibility, and inclusivity.
