AI and children’s rights: an evidence brief and update for policymakers

Year: 2026
Type: report
Abstract: The Joint Statement on Artificial Intelligence and the Rights of the Child (2025), 1 co-led by the International Telecommunication Union, UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and UNICEF, sets out what actors, including States, international organisations, companies, developers, parents, individuals working with children and others, must do to respect, protect and fulfil children's rights in a world increasingly shaped by AI.The Digital Futures for Children centre's narrative review of evidence on AI and children's rights identified the evidence base to guide these actions and support global efforts by State and non-State actors to drive change for children.2* For the benefit of policymakers, this evidence brief summarises the findings of the narrative review.Since AI-related developments are unfolding rapidly, we also update the review.* We express our gratitude to the anonymous and named reviewers of this report, including Ayça Atabey, Akshi Kumar, Nomisha Kurian
