AI vs. Childhood: Growing Up in an Algorithmic World

Safety, Development, and Design Choices Matter -- Children are increasingly exposed to AI-driven platforms shaping learning, relationships, play, mental health, and even their ability to think. This session examines how AI and data tools intersect with child development, online safety, education, and more. The session will explore emerging risks, design principles and policy gaps for child-centered AI — along with the responsibilities of platforms, governments, nonprofits, educators, and parents in safeguarding young people.
