Ms Alison Fox:

I was going to follow up on that because it links in to the whole area of critical thinking. What is vital in all these conversations is that while we look at online and AI and its benefits, we must also look at the offline spaces and where young people can get support to have those critical conversations and also to challenge young people, to make them aware of the privacy issues but also have those discussions. Youth work plays a really vital role, particularly for very vulnerable young people who might not have a very positive experience within the formal education system. They need to meet with youth workers with whom they can have those side-by-side conversations and who can really challenge them. Mr. Murray spoke on the statistics which showed how more vulnerable young people, young people growing up in poverty, are not taking the benefits of studying out of AI but they are experiencing many of its harms. When we are considering all this, the youth voice, as YAP talked about, through all the modules is really important because youth voice has something to say on all these areas. We have to empower them but also look at those offline spaces and really support out-of-school as well as in-school so it is informal and formal education for young people to engage in equal discussions around it.
