Most AI products for children are built without understanding how children actually develop.

The AI × education market is growing fast — but most AI products for children lack a grounded understanding of cognitive development, learning science, behavioural safety, or children's digital rights.

Content moderation is not enough. AI can create unhealthy patterns of attachment, cognitive offloading, dependency and anthropomorphic confusion — risks that stay invisible unless you know what to look for.

A 6-week online cohort for up to 25 builders

Seven 90-minute live masterclasses, every Tuesday from 22 September to 27 October — timed to work across EMEA and North America.
17:00–18:30 CET / 8:00–9:30am PT. All sessions are recorded for cohort members.

Live masterclasses

Ninety minutes each, delivered live online by leading experts.

AïA: a science-backed safety tool for AI builders

Unlike content moderation tools, AïA Safety Builder measures the behavioural patterns children encounter through repeated AI interaction — anthropomorphic cues, interactional dynamics and relational signals that can skew development.

Powered by the CALIBER expert-consensus framework and the SRL4Children assessment engine.
