We’re excited to launch our Responsible AI portfolio addressing AI harms affecting youth. We piloted an AI detox challenge last November, and now are launching our larger AI programs and pivotal research in March 2026, led by Mariel Emanuel, our Head of Responsible AI and Wellbeing Strategy at NoSo

Our work will hone in on three main programs:

Discern: Our NoSo Peer Facilitators will deliver interactive presentations in youth groups and schools, focusing on personal, community, and societal level AI impacts. Participants engage in investigative brainstorms to (1) ideate self-led action plans and red-line boundaries with generative AI; & (2) design solutions to AI harms for a better future for their community, and the world. We believe that education sticks best when it's personal, reflective, and activity-based. 

Empower: Select, passionate students will have the agency to envision, and the support to launch, projects/initiatives addressing local and/or societal-level AI impacts. Examples include sample legislative policies, AI company safety guidelines, community building support, or established norms for schools to prevent cheating
Forge: Collective findings from brainstorms, research, and select initiatives will be showcased in our biannual ‘Youth: seat at the table’ report, a youth collective-opinion report designed to forge healthier AI futures and position youth voices as central to the fight for safer, ethical AI systems. A NoSo-trained youth representative will use the report as an advocacy tool, using it to influence advocacy groups, families, schools and AI companies
