What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How does it affect young people’s education, employment, and other fundamental rights? How do youth workers perceive AI and what opportunities do they have to engage with AI governance? This edition of Insights explores the intersection between AI and the youth sector by looking at how the evolution of this technology affects young people’s lives, the policies and practices of state and non-state actors, and perceptions of youth workers towards it.

As AI has become an omnipresent technology in our society, the main aim of the publication is to provide an overview of what AI is and its impact on young people’s rights and the youth sector at large. With the adoption of major AI regulations, both within the Council of Europe and the European Union, it also sets out to inspire and provide guidance for the youth stakeholders interested in playing an active role in AI debates and policies.
