(Preamble)

Children are the hope for the development of humanity. At the same time, children are also disadvantaged and vulnerable groups and require special attention from the whole society, especially in the context that the current development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing profound and extensive impact to society in an unprecedented way. All sectors of society should attach great importance to the impact of AI on children and develop responsible AI for the next generations. The development of AI should protect and promote the benefits of children, avoid depriving and harming children's rights, and help realize the healthy growth of children.

The development of AI should give priority to benefiting children. The research, design, development, deployment, and use of AI should prioritize the needs, rights, and interests of children, prioritize the adequate protection of children, and prioritize the promotion of children's development.

· Privacy protection

The development of AI should protect children's privacy in a much stricter manner. The collection of information on children should follow the principle of "legal, proper and necessary", ensure their guardians' informed consent, and avoid illegal collection and abuse of children's information. AI systems should ensure that children, parents, legal guardians, or other caregivers have the rights to consent, refuse, erase data, revoke authorizations, etc.

· Legal system improvement

Stakeholders of AI should consciously and strictly abide by the code of conduct, laws and regulations, and technical specifications related to children. AI legislations should pay attention to the impact of AI on children's rights and interests, and should make it clearly and effectively reflected in the legal system. Both governance institutions and strict review and accountability mechanisms should be established to severely punish individuals and groups that abuse AI to infringe upon children's rights and interests.
