About the Event
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s a part of children’s and young people’s everyday lives. Whether it’s a personalized learning bot, a creative tool, or an AI-driven social media feed, the question is no longer if young people use AI but how they use it. This raises new questions about protecting youth media: How can we capitalize on opportunities and mitigate risks? What responsibilities do policymakers, businesses, educational institutions, media educators, and parents have?
