Abstract: This spotlight seeks to share Youth and Media’s initial learnings and key questions around the intersection between AI and youth (ages 12-18), in the context of domains such as education, health and well-being, and the future of work. It aims to encourage various stakeholders — including policymakers, educators, and parents and caregivers — to consider how we can empower young people to meaningfully interact with AIbased technologies to promote and bolster learning, creative expression, and wellbeing, while also addressing key challenges and concerns.
