Most efforts by policymakers to respond to concerns about child safety in digital environments have emphasized “one size fits all” approaches such as bans and access rules.
A more effective approach would acknowledge the opportunities presented by online and mobile access, and prioritize technology design that respects the rights of children while building their trust and agency, according to findings from the year-long Frontiers in Digital Child Safety expert group.
In a new #SciencePolicyForum, researchers discuss the evidence behind successful digital child safety approaches and recommend future strategies based on fostering trust between children and adults; providing help-seeking and reporting outlets for children; providing on-device supports; and strengthening education and user-interface design so that children become more resilient digital citizens.

The vast troves of health data generated during everyday medical care should be treated like essential public infrastructure—governed as a regulated utility rather than left fragmented across private silos, argue the authors of a new #SciencePolicyForum. scim.ag/4lcjccd

Our latest paper in @ScienceMagazine warns about malicious AI swarms, agents capable of adaptive influence campaigns at scale. We already observed some in the wild (picture). AI is a real threat to democracy.

AI now allows propaganda campaigns to reach unprecedented scale and precision.
Our new paper in @sciencemagazine Magazine explains how a disruptive threat is emerging: swarms of collaborative, malicious AI agents.
We describe the potential risks and some interventions for this growing threat to organizations, institutions, and nations.

As the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals approaches, it’s becoming increasingly clear that progress towards them remains limited and they have not worked as well as intended to drive meaningful global change.
In a new #SciencePolicyForum, researchers look beyond 2030 and argue that researchers and policymakers urgently need a systematic way to design and evaluate proposals aimed at improving the next global development agenda. scim.ag/4sZ2uR4
