Tech Show London 2025 | AI and Child Safety: Tackling Online Exploitation in the Age of Intelligence

Baroness Joanna Shields OBE, Founder and CEO - Precognition Artificial intelligence is transforming our world, but for millions of children, it is also opening new pathways to exploitation and abuse. Each year, over 300 million children fall victim to online sexual exploitation, with AI accelerating the scale, speed, and sophistication of these crimes. Algorithms designed to engage users can push children toward harmful content, while generative AI is being weaponised to create explicit material. As technology advances, so must our response. This session will examine AI’s impact on child safety and digital regulation, highlighting the urgent need for proactive solutions. Baroness Joanna Shields—tech veteran, founder of WeProtect, and former UK Minister for Internet Safety and Security— outlined how governments, tech companies, and civil society must work together to ensure AI prioritises child protection.
