How can researchers help protect children from sexual abuse? What do the current research and initiatives look like in this area?
Welcome to this interactive seminar by the World Childhood Foundation, where we dive into how a multidisciplinary approach to AI can combat child sexual abuse. With examples from international research initiatives and Swedish cross-sectoral projects, we aim to provide insight into the complexity of preventing child sexual abuse, along with inspiring discussions on data availability and finding ways forward.
This seminar is mainly aimed at researchers and doctoral students within theoretical and applied AI and Machine Learning, Data Science, as well as Social Sciences, Child Rights and Health Science. It is however open to anyone who is interested in the subject matter.
For those interested in exploring the topic further, we also provide information on resources available under the Stella Polaris AI hub.

About World Childhood Foundation
World Childhood Foundation has been working to prevent sexual abuse of children since 1999. We support local organisations to develop new and innovative approaches to help children and families at risk in Sweden and abroad. In 2021, we started Stella Polaris, a Swedish hub where children’s rights and artificial intelligence (AI) meet to encourage, coordinate, and intensify AI-related initiatives to fight child sexual abuse. By bringing together actors with a wide range of expertise, we are accelerating the development and application of concrete AI solutions. Stella Polaris is financed by the Swedish Postcode Lottery.
