WEF DIGITAL SAFETY WORKSHOP · SAN FRANCISCO · 23 JUL 2026

From the United Nations in Geneva to the World Economic Forum in San Francisco — building the safety standard for AI, worldwide.

The workshop, in four beats

Children are growing up with AI. The world is writing the rules now.

01 The coalition

A global, multistakeholder effort

The WEF’s Global Coalition for Digital Safety brings together platforms, governments, academia and civil society — from AWS, TikTok, Pinterest and Cloudflare to UNESCO, Ofcom, the European Commission and Stanford — around one table.

02 The workshop

Growing up with AI

A full day at the San Francisco Presidio Forum office: mapping the typology of AI-related harms to children, then hammering out the best practices that responsible actors across the AI ecosystem can commit to.

03 My contribution

Measurable, auditable safety

I brought Everyone.AI’s behavioral assessment work — 15 behaviors, scored and auditable, operationalized in the AiA Safety Builder — as a concrete foundation for turning best practices into observable baselines.

04 What’s next

A white paper for the ecosystem

“Best Practices for Child-Safe AI Systems” — a shared baseline for every actor, regardless of jurisdiction or business model. Publication: September 2026.

No single actor can carry this alone.

The deliverable

Best Practices for Child-Safe AI Systems

The workshop’s outcome is a World Economic Forum white paper defining a specific, observable baseline for the highest-risk context in AI: children. It builds on the Coalition’s Global Principles on Digital Safety and Typology of Online Harms — and moves from common language to common commitments that every actor across the AI ecosystem can stand on, regardless of jurisdiction or business model.
