Child Safety and Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Protecting children in the age of artificial intelligence requires combining safe-by-design principles with digital literacy and education, rather than simply setting age limits.
With artificial intelligence entering education, gaming, and communication processes, governments and industry actors face the responsibility of protecting children from digital dangers while ensuring their safe participation.
Artificial Intelligence and Child Safety
Artificial intelligence technologies have become an integral part of how children learn, communicate, create, and play.
International Regulations and Rights
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child states in General Comment No. 25 that the best interests of children must be taken into account when regulating digital technologies.
Online Risks and Diversity
Online safety policies cover bullying, exploitation, harmful content, privacy violations, addictive design, and mental health risks.
The Role of Age Limits and Design
Australia's social media age restrictions and the EU KIDS Act proposed by the European Commission introduce account limitations according to age groups.
