First, domestic AI as a home maintainer can lead to subtle shifts in the gender division of household chores and introduce new forms of control through digital housekeeping. Second, when domestic AI acts as a guardian, it may reshape intimate surveillance practices, blurring the line between care and control. Finally, as a companion, domestic AI might shape or be shaped by existing household dynamics.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our analysis shows that domestic AI systems should be interpreted in a larger vision for the future for the household, where implementations of domestic AI fit the norms and values embedded in our households. Therefore, we should reflect on (a) what roles we introduce or reconfigure by introducing domestic AI, (b) what “price” we want to pay to deploy domestic AI, and (c) to what extent automation through domestic AI aligns with household values and norms.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We direct our focus toward researchers, urging them to look beyond deterministic views and effectively examine everyday negotiations, adoption, and the extent to which the domestic AI systems align with the norms and needs of family members. Moreover, we argue for policymakers and practice to shift from a technical perspective on domestic AI to a relational one. Regulation and services supporting families should focus on the social roles that domestic AI plays in the household.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48206,"journal":{"name":"Family Relations","volume":"74 3","pages":"1098-1108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
