AI and Childhood: Exploring Risks and Remedies

Q & A with Dr. Moina Khan, Associate Professor, Times School of Media, Bennett University, (Times Group)

The UNICEF Chair at National Law University Delhi works towards protecting and promoting the rights of children through research, legal education, and meaningful engagement with issues affecting their lives. It aims to bridge the gap between law and practice by bringing together legal knowledge, policy discussions, and real-world experiences related to child rights and protection.

The Chair’s website serves as a resource for students, researchers, legal professionals, and anyone interested in child rights. It brings together important laws, court judgments, reports, research publications, news, and expert opinions on issues concerning children. Through Notes from the Field, it also shares practical insights and experiences from the field of child protection and justice.

In the Q&A piece, Ms Khan speaks to the promise that AI use holds for children and argues that guarding against potential dangers must move away from placing the burden on children to exercise restraint, and towards taking responsibility for the systems we have created.
