Abstract: Children and young people play a unique role in the digital ecosystem. From a very young age, they grow up with systems they did not design, cannot examine, are only occasionally asked about, and very rarely influence. Also concerning is the increasing rate at which the institutions that decide children’s access to services, education, health and even justice are embedding AI into their operations, such that technology influences even those children who never interact directly with it. This report evaluates contemporary evidence on children and AI, including emerging best practice. It is organised in accordance with the 11 themes of the Joint Statement on Artificial Intelligence and the rights of the child (2025), with the aim of collating and evaluating the evidence underpinning its recommendations.
