        "summary": "IEEE\u2019s Responsible AI for Children programme has awarded its first certification to d-AI-logue, an AI-powered educational platform developed by Greece\u2019s National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos. The certification involves independent assessment of age-appropriate design, privacy, children\u2019s rights and ongoing compliance, providing assurance to educators and families as the platform expands into classroom pilots.",
        "content": "<p>First product certification issued to educational platform from Greek\nNational Centre for Scientific Research<\/p>\n<p>Piscataway, N.J.\u2013(ANTARA\/Business Wire)\u2013The IEEE Standards\nAssociation, the global, consensus-building standards development\norganization of IEEE \u2013 the world\u2019s largest technical professional\norganization and public charity dedicated to advancing technology for\nthe benefit of humanity \u2013 today advanced its Responsible AI for Children\n(RAIC) Certification Program with the first product certified for\nchildren\u2019s online safety.<\/p>\n<p>As children increasingly engage with digital and AI-enabled\ntechnologies, parents, educators, developers, and regulators want tools\nthey can trust. IEEE\u2019s Responsible AI for Children (RAIC) certification\ndirectly addresses these needs by translating global technical standards\ninto a practical assessment for age-appropriate design and child safety\n\u2013 helping organizations prioritize children\u2019s values, rights and\nwell-being in their digital products and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs AI becomes part of children\u2019s everyday lives, our responsibility\nas technology leaders has never been greater,\u201d said Mary Ellen Randall,\n2026 IEEE President and CEO. \u201cWe must help ensure that AI systems built\nfor children prioritize safe and supportive experiences. This\ncertification program gives organizations a competitive advantage in\ndemonstrating that their AI-enabled products, such as smart toys, online\ngaming and educational solutions, support children\u2019s well-being and\nhelps earn the trust of families and educators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IEEE\u2019s Trust-Led Certification Program Helps Make AI Safer for\nKids<\/p>\n<p>The IEEE Standards Association\u2019s RAIC certification means an AI\nproduct for kids \u2013 a smart toy, learning app or tutoring platform \u2013 has\nbeen independently tested and verified to meet concrete safety and\nethics requirements. By aligning both design and assessment practices,\nthe program supports technology companies, public institutions and\neducational organizations in building more trustworthy digital products\nfor children.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Design requirements: Organizations must design with\nstandards-based privacy protections, age-appropriate content limits and\nsafeguards for children\u2019s rights (as defined by the United Nations\nConvention on the Rights of the Child) from the start of development,\nnot retrofit them later.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Independent testing: IEEE-accredited assessors evaluate the\nfinished product against the RAIC requirements before certification is\nawarded, comparable to how a safety label is earned for a physical\ntoy.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Ongoing accountability: Certified organizations must continue\ndemonstrating compliance as the product changes, rather than receiving a\nstatic, one-time review.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>IEEE\u2019s certification programs leverage a global network of\nindependent testing labs and assessors to help ensure child-focused\ndevices and systems meet recognized standards for safety and\nreliability. It is an extension of IEEE\u2019s globally recognized ethical AI\nprogram CertifAIEd\u2122 and bridges two core IEEE standards: IEEE 2089\u2122,\nwhich sets requirements for age-appropriate digital services, and IEEE\n7000\u2122, which guides ethical system design.<\/p>\n<p>First Product Certification Awarded to NCSR Demokritos for\nd-AI-logue<\/p>\n<p>The IEEE Standards Association also announced the first product to be\ncertified is d-AI-logue, an innovative AI-powered educational platform\ndeveloped by Greece\u2019s National Centre for Scientific Research (NCSR)\n\u2018Demokritos\u2019. The platform uses Socratic dialogue, a teaching method\nfocusing on guided questions rather than direct answers, to support\nstudents in evaluating information independently.<\/p>\n<p>The certification provides independent assurance to Greek educators,\nschools, ministries and parents that the product has been evaluated\nagainst rigorous criteria for use with children, supporting broader\ntrust and adoption as the platform expands into classroom pilots and\neducational programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt NCSR Demokritos, we believe that AI systems can play a\ntransformative role in education, but only when they are developed and\ndeployed responsibly,\u201d said Dr.\u00a0Georgios Petasis, Researcher and\nd-AI-logue Coordinator, NCSR \u2018Demokritos\u2019. \u201cWe pursued the IEEE\nCertifAIEd Responsible AI for Children certification because independent\nvalidation is critical when creating AI systems intended for children.\nThe certification demonstrates our commitment to trust, transparency,\nhuman oversight and educational integrity, while providing confidence to\neducators, policymakers and parents that d-AI-logue has been designed\nwith the best interests of learners at its core.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the RAIC Certification Program or apply for\nproduct evaluation, please visit https:\/\/ieeesa.io\/raic.<\/p>\n<p>About IEEE Standards Association<\/p>\n<p>IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) is a leading global\nstandards-setting organization that advances technology for the benefit\nof humanity.
