On Tuesday 4th February 2025, the Children’s AI Summit brought together around 150 children from across the UK to share their messages for global leaders, policymakers, and AI developers on what the future of AI should look like.

Hosted by the Children and AI team in The Alan Turing Institute’s Public Policy Programme and Queen Mary University of London, the event aimed to put children’s voices and experiences centre stage by exploring how the technology impacts young people today, and how children can shape its future.

As part of the summit, a Children’s Manifesto for the Future of AI was developed. This incorporates ideas that were submitted in the run-up to the event, and was refined with the help of summit participants.

The Turing’s Children and AI team are attending the Paris AI Action Summit this week and will be taking the Children’s Manifesto for the Future of AI with them, as well as screening a short film made at the Children’s AI Summit. You can watch this film below:
