Image from the (A)I Wonder Campaign by the ALFIE project with a teal and white design. The graphic asks whether regulation can keep pace with AI innovation or if governance will always arrive one step behind deployment. The ALFIE logo appears in the top right corner, with a European Union funding acknowledgement and the website alfie-project.eu displayed at the bottom.

AI can empower children, but it must also protect them.

How can we safeguard the privacy of those with specific needs while keeping tech inclusive and supportive?

A screenshot of a video call featuring two people. The main participant, Blas Subiela, a man with dark curly hair and a beard, is wearing a white shirt and black headphones. He is seated in a room with a wooden bookcase behind him, which contains books, model sailboats, and various decorative items. The second participant, Pilar Orero, appears in a smaller window at the top of the screen and is a woman wearing glasses and a striped top, smiling at the camera.
