How can we empower children, tomorrow’s citizens, to flourish in the age of AI?
On Friday, June 20, The Lyceum Project 2025, themed “Children in the Age of AI,” brought together a diverse community of distinguished thinkers, practitioners, policymakers, artists, and citizens at the Athens Conservatoire and the archaeological site of Aristotle’s Lyceum. The goal of this year’s gathering was to reflect and debate on what it means to be a child in the age of AI.
In the last panel of the day, Prof John Tasioulas (Director, Institute for Ethics in AI, Univ. of Oxford) and Prof Spyridon Rangos (Univ. of Patras), in a discussion moderated by Dr Maria Dagioglou (NCSR “Demokritos”), examined key philosophical questions about the role of AI in childhood. Prof Tasioulas pointed out that digital systems built to flatter and mirror our preferences risk displacing the challenges and personal growth that arise through genuine human relationships.
