Artificial intelligence (AI) is (re)defining the way children and 
teenagers relate to media, play, as well as their social interactions. 
Through chatbots and voice assistants, applications (storytelling, 
language learning, emotional recognition, etc.), and virtual/interactive 
educational games, AI-driven tools are becoming essential companions in 
their digital experiences. This conference aims to explore the cultural 
and social impacts of these changes, focusing on AI’s influence on 
digital self-expression, play-related experiences, intergenerational 
relationships, and audio-visual production. Rather than perceiving AI 
merely as a neutral instrument, our goal is to explore its role as a 
cultural force that guides the ways in which young individuals relate to 
media and the world surrounding them.

Key topics (included but not limited to):

•Definitions and fundamentals of AI related to childhood context.
• Regulations and norms on AI in media for children and teenagers.
• Ethical and social concerns regarding AI in youth media.
• AI-driven play based on child responses.
• AI games that promote movement and interaction with the environment.
• Interactive AI games for narrative building and image generation.
• Digital literacy in children through AI-based play and ethical 
considerations.
• Content mediation and parenting in the age of AI.
• Transformations in children’s communicative practices in AI.
• Role of algorithmic recommendation in the shaping of children’s media 
identities.
• AI and the reinforcement of cultural stereotypes in visual and 
narrative constructs.
• Ideological discourses present in AI-driven media narratives for 
children and youth.
• Role of AI in creating shared learning experiences across generations.
• Representations of AI in film and television for children and youth.
• Authorship, consent, and the aesthetics of appropriation in 
AI-generated art.
• Intersection of AI and artistic labor exploring the challenges faced 
by animators and writers.

*Deadline for proposals (EXTENDED):* October 31, 2025.

This conference is a Mid-Term Conference of the Children, Youth and 
Media (CYM) Section of ECREA, supported by Universidad de Sevilla 
(Spain) and the research group LIGAINCOM.
