About

Wenwei Luo is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and early childhood education (ECE), where her work is shaping how we think about technology’s role in the youngest learners’ lives. Her research centers on three critical areas: the ethical integration of AI in ECE, the development of spatial reasoning and computational thinking through play, and the innovative use of digital and intelligent technologies in classroom practice. Luo’s most impactful work, a 2025 scoping review on ethical considerations for AI in ECE, has already garnered 54 citations, underscoring its timely and urgent contribution to the field. In this paper, she maps the complex ethical landscape—from data privacy to algorithmic bias—and calls for responsible innovation that prioritizes children’s well-being. Her 2023 study on robot programming as a foundation for spatial reasoning and computational thinking in preschoolers’ guided play (37 citations) demonstrates a hands-on, playful approach to STEM learning. More recently, her 2025 scoping review of digital and intelligence technologies in ECE (9 citations) advances a framework for understanding how algorithmic approaches can be thoughtfully embedded in early learning environments. Luo’s work is essential reading for educators, technologists, and policymakers seeking to navigate the promise and perils of AI in early childhood.
