AYO: a platform for safely and privately studying children's interactions with LLMs
Start here
Researchers launched the open-source platform AYO for safe, systematic study of children's interactions with conversational AI. The platform provides a child-friendly interface, age-configurable safety guardrails, researcher monitoring and privacy-protecting data practices, and supports cross-sectional, longitudinal and experimental studies examining how children use and respond to LLMs and the impact of AI design on development including trust and cognitive judgment. The authors say it can provide evidence for safer AI systems, educational practice and children's AI policy.

The researchers introduce AYO (AI Youth Open Science), an open-source platform for safely and systematically studying children's interactions with conversational AI. The platform provides a child-friendly interface, age-configurable safety guardrails, researcher monitoring, and privacy-preserving data practices, and supports cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental studies of how children use and respond to LLMs and how AI design affects developmental aspects such as trust, cognitive judgment, and curiosity. The authors state that this infrastructure can provide evidence for safer AI systems, educational practice, and AI policy for children.
