IEEE Delivers a Trusted Safety Formula to Help Protect Kids Online
IEEE advances its Responsible AI for Children Certification Program with the first product certified for children’s online safety.
The IEEE Standards Association has advanced its Responsible AI for Children (RAIC) Certification Program with the first product certified for children’s online safety. The certification directly addresses the needs of parents, educators, developers, and regulators who want tools they can trust. The RAIC certification translates global technical standards into a practical assessment for age-appropriate design and child safety.
The certification means an AI product for kids has been independently tested and verified to meet concrete safety and ethics requirements. Organizations must design with standards-based privacy protections, age-appropriate content limits, and safeguards for children’s rights from the start of development. Independent testing and ongoing accountability are also required.
The first product certified is d-AI-logue, an AI-powered educational platform developed by Greece’s National Centre for Scientific Research (NCSR) ‘Demokritos’. The platform uses Socratic dialogue to support students in evaluating information independently. The certification provides independent assurance to educators, schools, ministries, and parents that the product has been evaluated against rigorous criteria for use with children.
