Panel: AI and the Rights of Children | IASEAI '26

How should societies protect children in an age of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence? This panel from IASEAI ’26 explores the opportunities and risks AI presents for young people, from education and digital access to privacy, safety, and online harms. Moderated by Mathilde Cerioli, the discussion brings together experts from government, academia, and international organizations to examine how AI systems may affect children’s rights and wellbeing—and what safeguards are needed as these technologies rapidly evolve. Panelists include Anne-Sophie Seret, Clara Chappaz, James Ryan, and Tara Steele. Together, they discuss the responsibilities of governments, technology companies, and international institutions to ensure that AI development respects the rights and protections owed to children. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, the panel highlights the urgent need for governance frameworks and ethical design principles that prioritize the safety, dignity, and development of young people. 📌 About IASEAI: https://www.iaseai.org #AISafety #ChildRights #AIGovernance #ResponsibleAI #IASEAI #ChildSafety
