Cybersmile also engages with developments linked to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, with a focus on the ethical use of AI in online environments, including the deployment of AI-driven tools for support, moderation, and early intervention. The organisation’s work aligns with EU priorities concerning child protection online, media literacy, and digital wellbeing, contributing insights from frontline support services and global educational initiatives. Through its activities, Cybersmile supports evidence-based policy development and cross-sector collaboration aimed at fostering safer, more inclusive digital ecosystems.
