The Dignity of Children and Adolescents in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we learn, communicate, and connect.
Yet as digital technologies evolve at unprecedented speed, protecting the dignity, freedom, and wellbeing of children and adolescents must remain at the heart of innovation.
Together with Telefono Azzurro, Foundation Child for Study and Research into Childhood and Adolescence is dedicated to advancing research, knowledge, and advocacy in support of young people’s rights and development.
On November 12, 2025, the Foundation and Telefono Azzurro will host the international conference
“The Dignity of Children and Adolescents in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” at the Apostolic Chancery in Rome.
The event will bring together leading voices from academia, institutions, science, and technology to explore the ethical, legal, social, and anthropological implications of Artificial Intelligence. Participants will contribute insights and perspectives that will inform the drafting of the forthcoming Encyclical on Artificial Intelligence — a document intended to inspire a global, human-centered approach to innovation.
Continuing the path of the Child Dignity Alliance — from the Rome Declaration (2017) to Abu Dhabi (2018) and Rome AI 2025 — this conference aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and cultures, promoting a shared vision of digital humanism rooted in respect, empathy, and responsibility.
