The Children’s Rights Alliance has warned that children face a “very real danger” as artificial intelligence technologies advance rapidly, particularly in the absence of effective regulation. In its call to Government, the group says policy makers must take account of children’s safety and welfare when responding to AI developments. The alliance argues that the speed of change increases risks, but that current oversight may not be sufficient to protect children as AI is increasingly deployed in areas that can affect their daily lives. It is urging the Government to consider stronger safeguards and a regulatory approach that explicitly accounts for children’s rights. The warning is framed as a precautionary concern: without appropriate rules and attention to children’s interests, the alliance says harm could occur or protections may lag behind new capabilities. The group’s position focuses on the need for regulation and child-centred safeguards as AI adoption grows.
