While AI and technology are rapidly transforming everything we know about our world, the impact it is having on children is far from definitive and there is much to be done to ensure that its risks are mitigated. At Access to Knowledge for Development Center , we believe that AI should be safe, ethical, and empowering for young minds. That’s why we’re proud to join the Beneficial AI for Children coalition—a global initiative ensuring AI benefits children worldwide. 🌍🤖 This coalition, launched by everyone.ai & the Paris Peace Forum, brings together tech giants, governments, and global organizations to set responsible AI guidelines.
