This Joint Research Centre (JRC) policy report addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and children's fundamental rights. It examines how emerging AI technologies - ranging from recommendation algorithms and educational tools to biometric tracking - impact youth development, agency, privacy, and well-being.
By synthesising socio-technical research, legal frameworks, and child-development theories, the authors outline key risks (such as algorithmic bias, commercial exploitation, and autonomy loss) alongside positive opportunities for learning and inclusion. The report proposes an integrated research and policy agenda that embeds child rights directly into AI design, regulatory mechanisms, and European digital governance frameworks.
Methodology
Literature synthesis and qualitative policy mapping.
