This whitepaper examines the integration of artificial intelligence into the daily lives of children and adolescents, focusing on its role in education, social media, and leisure activities. The authors highlight how AI can foster educational equity and individualized learning while simultaneously posing risks to the cognitive and emotional development of young users. Key concerns addressed include the vulnerability of minors to manipulation, algorithmic bias, and significant privacy risks associated with data collection. To mitigate these dangers, the text advocates for a multidisciplinary approach involving legal frameworks, age-appropriate design, and the promotion of AI literacy. Ultimately, the document and podcast characterize the responsible shaping of AI as a collective societal duty to protect children’s rights and autonomy in a digital world.
