• Title: Security for Children in the Digital Society -- A Rights-based and Research Ethics Approach
• Authors: Laura Schelenz, Ingrid Stapf, Jessica Heesen
• Abstract summary: The project is situated in a German context with a focus on European frameworks for the development of Artificial Intelligence and the protection of children from security risks arising in the course of algorithm-mediated online communication. The project develops a children's rights approach to questions of security for children online while also developing a research ethics approach for conducting research with children on online harms such as cybergrooming and sexual violence against children.

• Abstract: In this position paper, we present initial perspectives and research results from the project "SIKID - Security for Children in the Digital World." The project is situated in a German context with a focus on European frameworks for the development of Artificial Intelligence and the protection of children from security risks arising in the course of algorithm-mediated online communication. The project strengthens networks of relevant stakeholders, explores regulatory measures and informs policy makers, and develops a children's rights approach to questions of security for children online while also developing a research ethics approach for conducting research with children on online harms such as cybergrooming and sexual violence against children.

  Embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) integrates advanced AI models into physical entities for real-world interaction. Foundation models as the "brain" of EAI agents for high-level task planning have shown promising results. However, the deployment of these agents in physical environments presents significant safety challenges. This study introduces EAIRiskBench, a novel framework for automated physical risk assessment in EAI scenarios.

  Some researchers fear that conducting such research or releasing their findings will result in account suspensions or legal reprisal. We propose that major AI developers commit to providing a legal and technical safe harbor. We believe these commitments are a necessary step towards more inclusive and unimpeded community efforts to tackle the risks of generative AI.
