Building a future where AI is safe and beneficial for every child.
The iRaise Coalition is a multi-actor global initiative to safeguard and empower children in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
A Critical Inflection Point
Children make up one-fourth of the world’s population, yet their needs are largely absent from AI debates. Without intentional design and governance, AI could harm the very generation it promises to empower. Our mission is to build digital environments that are beneficial, inclusive, and truly supportive of children’s cognitive and emotional development.
Led by everyone.AI and the Paris Peace Forum, iRAISE is a global initiative bringing together researchers, industry, governments, and civil society to design AI with young people in mind.
Grounded in neuroscience and child development, iRAISE fosters open, collaborative spaces where knowledge is shared, beneficial AI products are shaped, standards are developed, and policies are guided.
A joint initiative of:
Our Three-Pillar Model
The Coalition is built on three interconnected pillars that transform research into collective action, ensuring that robust evidence drives action and that shared learning promotes child-centered AI innovation.
Applied Research
- We run iRAISE Labs to design, test, and share best practices for child-centered AI.
- We commission and synthesize business-informed research so product roadmaps reflect children’s needs.
Standard & Policy
- We co-develop clear industry standards that translate evidence into practical requirements.
- We draft policies informed by research and business realities to guide responsible adoption.
Collaboration & Awareness
- We maintain open online knowledge platforms so insights are accessible to builders, educators, and families.
- We convene an international summit and year-round communications to accelerate shared learning.
Join the Global Effort
Our coalition brings together leaders from government, industry, academia, and civil society. Together, we can shape a digital world that puts children first.
