Our Mission

KidsAI is a global child-first initiative creating safe, ethical, and inspiring AI. We design tools, stories, and curricula that protect children’s rights, spark curiosity, and prepare the next generation to thrive in an AI-powered world.

Our Manifesto

Children’s voices and rights must guide how AI is built and used.
AI must empower, not exploit.
AI must protect, not surveil.
AI must nurture creativity, not replace it.
AI must be transparent, not manipulative.
AI must serve children, not the other way around.

Child-safe AI is not optional, it is essential.
