G7, AI and Children: Building Beneficial GenAI for Children.

​As G7 governments call for a coordinated scientific initiative to strengthen knowledge on the impact of digital services on minors, this convening brings together the international community to answer that call.

​On June 15, 2026, in Paris, governments, leading AI companies, researchers, NGOs, and young people will come together to advance a shared international roadmap for beneficial AI for children.

​The event will feature the launch of the iRAISE Youth Manifesto, a direct expression of young people’s expectations for the AI systems shaping their lives. It will also feature a panel bringing together researchers, policymakers, and civil society leaders to examine what it takes to move from scientific evidence to policy frameworks to collective action, and what a truly coordinated international response to AI's impact on children must look like. We will have the honour of welcoming Ms Sarah El Haïry, High Commissioner for Children of the French Republic, for the opening remarks, and Ms Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs, for the conclusion. The panel will gather Mr Chris Lehane (Chief Global Affairs Officer, OpenAI), Mr Eric Salobir (President, Human Technology Foundation), Mr Olivier Esper (Public Policy, Senior Manager, Google) and Ms Josianne Galea Baron (Child Rights and Business Specialist, UNICEF), moderated by Ms Anne-Sophie Seret (Executive Director, everyone.ai).

​Together, participants will explore how scientific evidence, youth voice, policy leadership, and cross-sector coordination can translate into concrete commitments, design standards, and sustained international action.

​This event is a critical step in building the coordinated, evidence-based framework the world’s children need, and that governments are now asking for.
