Emerging Insights Series: AI and Children’s Social Care – Where’s the harm? Protecting children from online sexual abuse and risk in the age of artificial intelligence
Online, MS TeamsAI is now integrated into the digital technologies most of us use every day. How AI tools are used and what this technology is asked to do is rightly under scrutiny. And no more so than in the context of child protection. What does the use of AI now mean for keeping children safe from harm and preventing sexual abuse?
To provide an insight on this for people with a professional and personal interest in the care and protection of children, on 27 May, we’re bringing together an opportunity for expertise and new information to be shared.
Join us to understand more about where the harm and risk is happening, what that looks like, and who is experiencing the harm.
