CRASSH Webinar: Children and artificial intelligence: risks, opportunities and the future

 
 

Children and artificial intelligence is a timely workshop that brings together experts from academic disciplines such as sociology, psychology, computer science and linguistics, as well as leading figures from regulatory bodies, the charity sector, and child-focused agencies. The event aims to explore the future of online safety, and how to harness the opportunities of language-based AI for children while also ensuring that potential risks are minimised.

The workshop is convened by Giving Voice to Digital Democracies, a research project which is part of the Centre for the Humanities and Social Change, hosted at CRASSH, Cambridge, and organised by Shauna Concannon, Cambridge. It is funded by the Humanities and Social Change International Foundation.
