Children’s rights
This thematic area examines the measures countries have in place in order to prevent and mitigate the risk to children and their rights in the design, development and use of AI.
Children’s rights refer to the subset of human rights that recognises the need to provide children with ‘special care and protection’ given their dependence on adults for survival, protection, and development. A ‘child’ is defined as anyone under the age of 18, or until they attain majority, or legal age, earlier under an applicable law.

Background
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) sets the global standard for children’s rights which can be broadly organised into four categories:
Survival rights, Development rights, Protection rights, and Participation rights.
Although the UNCRC recognises the primary role of parents in safeguarding the rights of their children, it also places affirmative obligations on states to create the conditions for these responsibilities to be fulfilled.

Relevance
AI is becoming a ubiquitous part of children’s everyday lives. Children all over the globe frequently engage on social media platforms and use apps, websites and online games for leisure and education, many of which are powered by AI systems that give users recommendations and mediate content. While many of these tools have the potential to benefit children by increasing access to education and facilitating connection amongst peers, their unregulated use poses additional risks.
