AI for Children

Case Studies

About

UNICEF published a Policy guidance on AI for children in 2020 and updated it in 2021, with the support of the Government of Finland, and encourages the business sector to pilot this guidance in their field and openly share their findings. These are two case studies developed to document how the UNICEF Policy Guidance on AI for children was used, describing the resulting journeys in the form of case studies. They were developed by the Communication University of China (CUC) with the guidance of China Federation of Internet Societies (CFIS) and support of UNICEF China. They were authored by Eleonore Pauwels. Each case study illustrates how the principles of the Guidance can be embedded in AI system, making the whole process of development, design and adoption more child centred.

The AI systems illustrated are produced and owned by the company. UNICEF was not involved in any stage of the process. The reference to a specific company as part of this project does not imply endorsement by UNICEF of the company’s policies and practices.

UNICEF encourages the design, production and dissemination of open-source learning platforms.
