AI & Social Media: Understanding the Risks for Organisations Working with Children

THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER

This session provides a practical guide for charities and youth organisations to navigate the complexities of digital privacy in the era of artificial intelligence.

It explains how AI models harvest data from social media to train their systems, highlighting a critical flaw where children’s images posted by adults bypass standard age protections.

Rather than discouraging online engagement, the material focuses on risk management and the necessity of establishing robust internal safeguarding policies. To protect young people’s identities, the text suggests using private communication groups or substituting real photographs with AI-generated visuals for marketing.

Ultimately, it empowers professionals to make informed decisions that balance the need for public visibility with the duty to protect the children in their care.
