Stage 2 of the project ‘Exploring Children’s Rights and AI’ – run in partnership by Children’s Parliament, the Scottish AI Alliance, and The Alan Turing Institute – has recently reached its conclusion with the launch of a new report and film charting the process undertaken by children across Scotland to develop 12 Calls to Action.

These Calls to Action summarise the steps that children feel need to be taken to ensure that children’s human rights are upheld when it comes to the use and development of AI in Scotland.

The children (‘Members of Children’s Parliament’), aged 8-12 and drawn from four schools across the country, have been working with adult professionals for the past two years to find out about AI and its relationship to their children’s rights through a creative, participatory programme of workshops. The Calls to Action and a full account of the process in the Stage 2 report, along with the new project film, can be found here.
