Center for Youth and AI

What is Center for Youth and AI?

The Center for Youth and AI researches the impacts of AI on young people and creates accessible educational resources to address these challenges. By combining data-driven insights with advocacy, we aim to foster a healthier, safer digital world where youth are prepared to thrive.

Problem

Young people face uncertainty and anxiety as AI transforms careers, relationships, and mental health, with limited access to clear, actionable guidance. Without representation in AI policy and decision-making, their voices are often overlooked, leaving them vulnerable to inequities in an automated future.

Solution

We create engaging, research-based visualizations that empower youth to understand and navigate the impacts of AI on their lives. By amplifying their voices in policy discussions and providing accessible resources, we ensure young people are equipped to thrive and shape a safer, more equitable AI-driven world.
