X. Media for Children, Media with Children: Challenges and Opportunities of the Digital World

Congress Center, Irena Ondrová Hall

The conference, subtitled “Challenges and Opportunities of the Digital World,” will focus on the most current topics related to issues of security, efficiency, and empowerment in the online space. The conference will feature the following panel discussions:

Lifebuoys of Digital Childhood
Today’s reality is that even toddlers are users of digital technologies and, at the same time, protagonists of audiovisual content that their closest relatives freely publish and stream online, permanently exposing their children’s privacy. How can parents be educated to limit such risky behavior? What protective tools do legal regulations offer? What technological solutions are available to help prevent negative impacts? These topics will be addressed in the first panel discussion. Marek Vrbík, member of the Council of the Czech Telecommunication Office Moderated by Marta Smolíková, member of the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting

Artificial Intelligence as a Tool, Assistant, and Actor
The second panel discussion will explore the roles that artificial intelligence plays in our lives and how much access we should allow it into our private sphere. Increasingly, there is discussion about the risks of AI tools being used as easily accessible and inexpensive therapists, or even as substitutes for friends or partners. Where are the boundaries of healthy and safe use of AI language models? Eva Nečasová, co-founder of AI Dětem Moderated by Marek Poledníček, member of the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting

Are We Living in a Digital Paradise or a Digital Jungle?
The final panel discussion will uncover and analyze the risks of a fully digitalized world. Is it an exaggeration or reality that our lives are in the hands of people like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Mark Zuckerberg? Are online platform regulations, AI, or social networks a greater risk to humanity, or are we perhaps more threatened by their apparent freedom? Lukáš Benzl, Director of the Czech AI Association Moderated by Vadim Petrov, member of the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting
