6.1. Credibility of information about AIS. AI Actors are encouraged to provide AIS users with credible information about the AIS, acceptable and most effective methods of using the AIS and the harm, benefits, and existing limitations of their use. 6.2. Raising awareness of the ethics of AI application AI Actors are encouraged to carry out activities aimed at increasing the level of trust and awareness of citizens who use AISs and society in general. This should include increasing awareness of the technologies being developed, the features of the ethical use of AISs and other provisions accompanying the development of AIS. This promotion could include the development of journal articles, the organization of scientific and public conferences and seminars, and the inclusion of rules of ethical behavior for users and operators in the rules of the AIS.

6. Provide transparency, explainability and accountability for children

Strive to explicitly address children when promoting explainability and transparency of AI systems. Use age appropriate language to describe AI. Make AI systems transparent to the extent that children and their caregivers can understand the interaction. Develop AI systems so that they protect and empower child users according to legal and policy frameworks, regardless of children's understanding of the system. Review, update and develop AI related regulatory frameworks to integrate child rights. Establish AI oversight bodies compliant with principles and regulations and set up mechanisms for redress.
