Artificial Intelligence Glossary

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be confusing for non-experts. The i-ACCESS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Glossary aims to help child justice and child rights professionals to better understand AI and advocate for child-centered AI development and use.

AI has a huge potential in upholding and promoting children’s rights, such as improving access to education or offering solutions for children with disabilities. AI tech can help to respond to child sexual exploitation, recognizing child sexual abuse material, and identifying child victims and perpetrators through face recognition. It can also help analyse data and identify patterns to inform decision making in child justice contexts.
The potential is endless, but children's specific needs must be taken into account to avoid adverse impact on their rights. Child justice and child rights professionals and advocates play a key role in ensuring the development of AI tools grounded on human rights and child protection.

The i-ACCESS AI Glossary facilitates their contribution, by helping them understand and navigate through the most common AI concepts and general legal and ethical concerns.

The Glossary has been developed in the framework of the i-ACCESS MyRights project, which aims to improve access to information and legal assistance in the field of digital justice for child victims in the European Union, by promoting an AI solution that is, above all, child-centric.
