Our Mission
501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANISATION
Our mission is to anticipate, educate, and evaluate the risks and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence for children, adolescents, and young adults (0–25).
Grounded in research from developmental neuroscience, psychology, science of learning, and AI, we move from evidence to practical action, to ensure that AI supports healthy cognitive, social, and emotional development for the next generation.
Our Vision: A future where Beneficial AI supports the healthy development of every child, everywhere.
Our Actions
Applied Science
The Scientific Foundation of our Three Pillars
iRAISE
International Coalition
Bringing together researchers, industry leaders, governments, international organizations, and civil society to advance Beneficial AI for Children. Through scientific collaboration, policy dialogue, and youth participation, iRAISE translates research into actionable recommendations, standards, and best practices.
Education
Translating neuroscience and AI research into practical knowledge through interactive workshops, training sessions, conferences, and educational resources. Our programs help educators, families, companies, and young people understand AI’s opportunities and challenges, with a focus on learning, critical thinking, and well-being.
AïA
Evaluation Framework
Advancing independent, science-based evaluation of how AI systems interact with children and young people. Through AïA Safety Builder, we assess developmental risk signals and provide measurable indicators to help AI developers and decision-makers improve AI safety and accountability.
Our latest publication:
Mapping of GenAI impacts on child development
This report examines how generative AI use may shape children’s cognitive, emotional, and developmental trajectories across four age bands, from birth to age 18. Drawing on developmental science, neuroscience, and emerging evidence on youth AI use, it translates converging scientific insights into developmentally grounded governance priorities for G7 policymakers.
Why Now?
The rapid evolution of AI technologies is outpacing the development of child-specific safeguards. As AI’s adoption accelerates, waiting to course-correct could have irreversible impacts.
It’s imperative to anticipate potential pitfalls and proactively establish guidelines for our young users, ensuring their safety and well-being in the digital age.
