YOUTH VOICES
Shaping the Future of AI, Together.
Young people should have a voice in shaping the technologies that influence their lives.
Since February 2025, everyone.AI has worked directly with young people to co-create educational resources, bring their perspectives into conversations with researchers, technology companies and policymakers, and advocate for their meaningful participation in AI design and governance.
Young people are stakeholders, not mere users.

BUILDING AI’S FUTURE WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
Nothing About Yound People Without Young People
AI is already shaping how young people learn, create, communicate and build relationships. Yet their perspectives are too often missing from the conversations and decisions that will define their future.
At everyone.AI, we believe young people should be active contributors, not simply an audience or the subject of research.
Since February 2025, we have been creating opportunities for youth to share their experiences, contribute to our educational initiatives and engage directly with those developing and governing AI.
How We Work With Young People
CO-DESIGN
Through workshops and discussions, young people share how AI influences their daily lives, learning, relationships and aspirations, bringing perspectives that adults and researchers may overlook.
DIALOGUE
We create opportunities for young people to engage with researchers, technology companies and policymakers, bringing their experiences and priorities into discussions about AI's future.
SHAPING THE CONVERSATION
Our educational initiatives are developed with input from young people themselves. Their feedback helps us make our workshops and resources more relevant, engaging and responsive to the questions their generation is asking about AI.
YOUTH VOICES ON THE GLOBAL STAGE
Bringing Youth Perspectives Where Decisions Are Made
Young people deserve more than a symbolic seat at the table. They deserve opportunities to speak, be heard and contribute to the discussions shaping the technologies they use every day.
Through everyone.AI and the iRAISE international coalition, we help bring youth perspectives into conversations with scientists, technology leaders, international organizations and government representatives.
From Local Engagement to International Dialogue

Listen to Us. Include Us. Build with Us.
What kind of AI future do young people want?
In 2026, young people from around the world came together through the iRAISE coalition to share their hopes, concerns and expectations for generative AI.
Their collective work became The Future We Want — Youth Perspectives on Generative AI, a manifesto written with and by young people, calling on world leaders and AI developers to include youth in decisions shaping their future.
Launched in Paris on June 15, 2026, during an event held under the French G7 Presidency, the Manifesto brings together voices across countries, cultures and experiences.

One Shared Message
More Than a Voice on Stage
“Dear World Leaders and AI Builders, the youth of the world have a message for you.“
Young people from across the world joined their voices in a collective video calling for AI that supports their learning, development, well-being and future opportunities.
Creates With Young People, for Their Future
The Manifesto grew out of a global youth consultation involving questionnaires, discussions and contributions from young people across different countries.
A youth-led drafting process brought these perspectives together into a shared message, which was then reviewed, recorded and presented internationally.
The Youth of the World Call For:
MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION
Youth participation in AI regulatory bodies and policy discussions.
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE AI
Standards that ensure AI products are safe for each stage of childhood development.
TRANSPARENCY

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
The Future We Want, in Our Own Words.
Young people are not simply asking to be protected from the risks of AI. They are asking to participate in shaping its possibilities.
Their words reflect a shared ambition: AI should help young people learn, think critically, create, connect and thrive.
“The more we let AI think for us, the harder it is to think for ourselves.”
“These problems are solvable — but not without us.”
“Childhood is too important to treat as a live experiment.”
