Safe and Ethical AI (SEA) Platform Network · Linking Artificial Intelligence Principles (LAIP)

(Preamble)

Children are the hope for the development of humanity. At the same time, children are also disadvantaged and vulnerable groups and require special attention from the whole society, especially in the context that the current development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing profound and extensive impact to society in an unprecedented way. All sectors of society should attach great importance to the impact of AI on children and develop responsible AI for the next generations. The development of AI should protect and promote the benefits of children, avoid depriving and harming children's rights, and help realize the healthy growth of children.

· Growth

The development of AI should protect and promote the free development and diversified growth of children. AI should promote the development of children's multiple intelligences and personalities, actively provide feedbacks to children's curiosity, help stimulate children's potential, and help guide children to form sound and scientific values.

· Be responsible

The development of AI should uphold a responsible attitude towards the next generations, fully consider and try to reduce and avoid the potential ethical, legal, and social impacts and risks that AI might bring to children. The research, design, deployment, and use of AI should invite children and their parents, legal guardians, and other caregivers to participate in the discussion, actively respond to the attention and concerns from all sectors of society, and establish a timely and effective error correction mechanism.

2. Ensure inclusion of and for children

Strive for diversity amongst those who design, develop, collect and process data, implement, research, regulate and oversee AI systems. Adopt an inclusive design approach when developing AI products that will be used by children or impact them. Support meaningful child participation, both in AI policies and in the design and development processes.
