Child welfare and modern technologies
More about the research objective
The internet is the most powerful and fastest growing medium in human history. Modern electronic media, in particular new digital technologies and their potential for information and communication, have created a specific area of human activity known as the virtual world or cyberspace. Although the internet was originally intended to serve the scientific community, its dynamic development and commercialisation has meant that it has begun to have a huge impact on human attitudes, mentality, social, political, economic and cultural processes in the modern world, but also as a space for new forms of socialisation.
The saturation of the market with advanced technologies and IT tools has led to increasing risks in cyberspace, which are particularly dangerous for children. In the framework of the project "Child protection and new technologies", the research team addressed questions such as: how to ensure that all children have free access to quality content online; how to protect them from online abuse, exploitation, bullying, traffickers and access to inappropriate content. It also considered how to protect children's privacy and identity online, how to equip them with digital literacy skills, and how to teach them to safely use AI to ensure their online safety. The research team also examined ways of working with the private sector to develop ethical online norms and practices, as well as ways of putting children at the centre of digital policymaking (taking into account their increased vulnerability and ensuring the protection and care they need for their well-being).
