Towards responsible AI for adolescent mental health and well-being - Livestream

Adolescents worldwide turn to general-purpose generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for mental health support, despite these tools not having been designed for youth well-being. Industry, policy and research trail far behind this rapid, largely unregulated adoption. Simultaneously, most responsible AI frameworks lack consensus, accountability, and meaningful implementation ??" particularly regarding adolescent health. Drawing on a policy and AI framework scan, multi-stakeholder workshops, and interviews with adolescents, we identify urgent, actionable priorities to prevent harm and ensure AI responsibly supports adolescent mental health.
