Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Vice Minister of Science and Technology of Viet Nam, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Hai Quan, to discuss how digital transformation and #innovation can better serve children and young people. Viet Nam’s national strategies on science, technology and education reflect a strong commitment to inclusive growth. Its leadership in ASEAN’s digital agenda opens new opportunities for collaboration, especially on ethical AI and responsible data use. UNICEF brings global expertise to support child-centred digital services, from digital learning and e-health to online child safety. In Viet Nam, our long-standing investments in education, health and protection continue to strengthen the foundations for human capital development. We look forward to working with the Ministry of Science and Technology on digital inclusion, child online protection and digital skills, and to exploring a joint Asia-Pacific Conference on Child Rights and Digital Transformation in 2026. #digitsltransformation UNICEF Viet Nam

AI is transforming the risk landscape for #childprotection. Our new report, developed in collaboration with UNICEF’s Business Engagement & Child Rights team, is timely. Artificial Intelligence Governance in Motion: A Rapid Global Review of AI Regulation and Its Implications for Children’s Rights reviews international and regional frameworks and examines regulatory models in the EU, China, UK, and India. While some jurisdictions are beginning to recognize children as a vulnerable group in AI governance, others make little or no mention of them at all. This is a major concern. AI’s impact might be more severe for children by exploiting gaps in their rights protections, limited autonomy, and developmental capacity. The asymmetry in power, information, and control between children and the technologies – and those who design and deploy them – makes these impacts more persistent and less visible. The review calls for ongoing research to monitor and assess the impact of AI regulation on children across different contexts. It also warns against a ‘wait-and-see’ approach, arguing that the consequences for children may be more difficult to undo than to prevent. As AI becomes embedded in the systems and services that children rely on, proactive regulation – anchored in child rights law – is essential to ensure that these technologies support, rather than undermine, children’s safety, development, and well-being. 📘 Read the full report: Artificial Intelligence Governance in Motion | UNICEF This review also contributes to UNICEF ’s broader guidance on AI and children, which is currently being updated, with new recommendations expected later this year.

Just wrapped up a powerful exchange with Viet Nam’s tech leaders. The country's bold investments in #AI and emerging #tech are inspiring, and so is its #digital generation. Children and adolescents are already shaping platforms and will soon lead the workforce. Designing with their rights in mind is the only right thing to do, but it's also smart business. A safe, inclusive digital ecosystem that is sensitive to child rights is key to national competitiveness and future-ready talent. When UNICEF says no child left behind in the digital age, this is what we mean. Grateful for the dialogue and shared vision.

We are just 5 days away from the DPI Summit #GDPIS2025 in Cape Town, South Africa, where UNICEF will be taking part, see details below. DPI, or digital public infrastructure, refers to foundational systems, such as digital ID, payments, and data exchanges, which enable public and private services to be delivered safely and equitably. DPI's relevance to child rights lies in its potential to improve access to essential services such as health and social protection, promote inclusion and protect the privacy of every child. Join us for these sessions: 4 Nov | 2:00–3:00 PM – Every DPI with Safeguards: From Vision to Practice – UNICEF Global CIO Kaan Cetinturk will be a panelist. 5 Nov | 10:30–11:30 AM – DPI for Education: Enabling Inclusive and Connected Learning Experiences – UNICEF Innovation Specialist Juliette Norrmén-Smith will be a panelist. 5 Nov | 2:00–3:00 PM – Advancing Children’s Rights through Digital Public Infrastructure – UNICEF hosted main stage event. UNICEF Chief, Digital Centre of Excellence Fui Meng Liew will be moderating. See you in #CapeTown! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dadnyWbu

How can AI respect children’s best interests? As digital technologies reshape childhood, we must ask: Are we designing AI with children’s rights at the center? UNICEF Innocenti’s latest consultations reveal critical insights: ✅ Children want clarity and fairness – Terms and conditions should be understandable and culturally relevant. ✅ Safety ≠ the only right – Privacy, participation, and freedom of expression matter just as much. ✅ AI impacts development – Emotional well-being, autonomy, and critical thinking must guide design choices. ✅ Co-creation is key – Platforms should involve children in shaping digital spaces that reflect diverse contexts. What’s next? Smarter, context-sensitive tools for safety without compromising autonomy. Stronger enforcement of existing regulations and child-centered redress systems. Transparent reporting and accountability from tech companies.   Best interests should never be a checkbox. They must guide every decision affecting children online. AI must empower - not exploit - young minds. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eHdFJgfZ #AI #ChildRights

Video series: Ghana’s tech lab – Part 5 This week, in our ongoing video series produced by UNICEF StartUp Lab and UNICEF Ghana, we introduce ASANKA, a platform that brings offline access for students and teachers to academic content with little or no internet connectivity. In collaboration with UNICEF, ASANKA offers curriculum-aligned lessons, videos, and interactive exercises, even offline. This partnership reflects UNICEF’s mission to ensure every child has access to quality education. Click below to watch how this project is transforming the future of learning through innovation and inclusion. Minu Limbu #DigitalImpact

New partnership makes information accessible to every child Millions of children around the world face barriers to understanding written content due to cognitive differences, disabilities, or reading challenges. This limits their ability to access essential information and participate fully in society. UNICEF is working with ETH Zurich to develop EasyRead, which is an open source GenAI solution that helps children overcome these barriers. EasyRead uses simplified language, logical structure, supportive visuals, and accessible layouts to make content easier to understand. By making digital information more inclusive, we aim to ensure that every child, regardless of ability, can learn, engage, and thrive.
