Podcast episode: children, young people and AI – data protection in everyday life

How does AI shape children’s digital lives, and what should we know to protect their privacy?

This podcast from the Danish Data Protection Agency explores how AI affects children and young people’s digital lives. It covers AI tools on social media, in online games and chatbots, explaining how personal data is collected and used, why children’s privacy deserves special protection, and how to develop healthy digital habits.

The episode can be used as a listening activity at school or at home. After listening, children and young people can discuss the topics with a teacher, parent or other trusted adult, share their thoughts and debate questions such as what AI knows about us, what information we should share online, and how to use AI responsibly.
