Kids Leading the AI Conversation: Lessons for MyData
A MyData4Children Initiative

What happens when we put children at the center of conversations about AI and personal data? This innovative child-led workshop flips the traditional learning dynamic, inviting kids and adults to explore our AI-integrated future together through interactive scenarios, role-playing, and creative collaboration.

Participants will work in mixed-age groups to tackle real-world AI scenarios, examining critical themes of trust, identity, agency, and aspiration. Each team will co-create a GenAI-powered poster designed to share vital digital insights with younger peers, fostering both critical thinking and ethical creativity.

The session culminates in a visual journey that weaves together all children's voices into a single compelling narrative—demonstrating how young people can lead the MyData community toward more empowering approaches to personal data governance.

Key Outcomes:
- Children's perspectives on AI ethics and data rights
- Collaborative learning between generations
- Creative tools for digital literacy education
- Actionable insights for child-centered data governance
