Artificial Intelligence – AI (Artificiell intelligens - AI) is part of the “Life Online” fact sheet series that provides parents, teachers and other professionals with practical knowledge about children’s digital lives. Each fact sheet focuses on a specific topic and explains it in a simple and accessible way. This fact sheet introduces artificial intelligence, commonly known as AI, and its growing role in children’s everyday digital experiences.

The material is adapted to be easy to understand, regardless of previous knowledge. It explains how AI is used in apps, games, social media platforms and search tools that children interact with on a daily basis.

The fact sheet also addresses both opportunities and challenges linked to AI. It explores how AI can support learning, creativity and communication, while also raising important questions about privacy, misinformation and critical thinking.

The aim of the fact sheet series is to help adults feel more confident in guiding and supporting children's use of digital media. With a greater understanding of AI, adults can better discuss how technology works and how children can use digital tools safely and responsibly.
