Advancing youth safety and opportunity through global leadership
Summary
This text discusses how AI can benefit young people through personalized learning and skill development, but emphasizes that companies must build products with safety safeguards by default rather than relying on parents or students to manage risks alone. OpenAI and other organizations are proposing an international youth safety institute to coordinate ongoing research, standards, and guidance across governments, industry, and civil society to keep AI safe and age-appropriate for young users.
Solution / Mitigation
The source proposes establishing either a new international institute or giving an existing national AI institute a global mandate to share research and guidance. It recommends that companies implement two key practices: (1) use 'effective, privacy-preserving age estimation' to identify minors and apply age-appropriate protections by default, and (2) complete 'annual youth safety risk assessments' and implement safeguards based on identified risks, considering developmental stages and empirical evidence from actual use.
