Children, youth and AI environments

Human-Centred AI in Education

This track is about prevention: recognising patterns when children and young people use AI and digital platforms, while making technology support community instead of isolation.

What do we observe?

  • Children and young people increasingly interact through digital systems, social platforms, and AI tools.
  • Digital environments can support learning and community, but also intensify isolation, pressure, and hidden distress.
  • Adults often see problems late.

What tension emerges?

We want children to benefit from technology, but we must avoid systems that profile, score, surveil, or replace human relationships.

What could change?

A constitutional approach can define strict limits before deployment: no diagnosis, no scoring, no behavioural surveillance, no commercial use of child interaction data.

Alternative direction

AI can be designed as a relational safety layer: helping recognise unhealthy patterns and supporting safer digital communities.

Should AI around children be governed by stricter safeguards?

A public pulse check — not a scientific survey. The question is whether governance should evolve alongside AI.
