Mila revisits its youth AI safety initiative on World Mental Health Day: 30-50% of young people already use AI, and as they increasingly rely on these tools for information and emotional support, safety must be built in from the start.
- In March, Mila partnered with Bell, BUZZHPC, and Kids Help Phone to convene Canada's tech community on building AI tools that protect rather than harm young users.
- Mila stresses that safer, more responsible technology for youth requires sustained interdisciplinary collaboration, with much still to be learned.
