Supporting research on AI and children’s safety

At the Paris Peace Forum, OpenAI signed the Charter of Engagement for Safer AI for Children and committed $2 million to support the scientific research network under the Coalition for Children’s Rights and Protection in the Age of AI. The funding will support shared measurement work, helping researchers develop tools to better understand and measure AI’s risks and opportunities for children, informing safer products and better policy. The charter establishes shared principles for safe, age-appropriate AI, along with a research programme that safeguards its independence: research teams retain control over their conclusions, and findings will be published, including negative or inconclusive results. OpenAI states this work builds on its support for comprehensive youth AI safety legislation with strong, enforceable protections, age-appropriate safeguards by default, tools for parents, regular risk assessments and mitigation, and meaningful accountability. OpenAI looks forward to engaging with European policymakers as the EU Kids Act develops and with partners worldwide.
