Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) tools such as ChatGPT and DALL·E are increasingly shaping the learning and leisure environments of children. It is used in classrooms, games, and social platforms, yet research and policy have only begun to catch up. This report brings together recent survey findings, qualitative insights from school-based workshops, and international guidance to assess the opportunities and risks Gen AI presents to children. It is hoped that this short perspective adds insights to the discussions among decision-makers, educators, and developers committed to responsible AI governance that places children’s well-being, rights, and diverse needs at the centre of design and deployment.
