Why should I care about AI and social Media among the youth
Youth today are among the most digitally connected groups in society. Social media platforms and AIpowered tools increasingly influence how information is produced, shared, and consumed. AI-driven algorithms now shape online content, recommend information, and even generate text, images, and videos. At the same time, governments around the world are debating how to regulate social media access for younger users. In Malaysia, policymakers have recently discussed restrictions on social media access for individuals under the age of 16 as part of broader efforts to address cyberbullying, online scams, and harmful digital content. Similar discussions are taking place in countries such as Australia and several European states, highlighting a growing global concern about the impact of digital platforms on youth. These developments raise important questions: How is AI shaping online spaces? Should governments regulate social media access for young users? And what role should youth play in shaping digital governance? This programme aims to provide a platform for youth to engage critically with these questions and better understand the evolving digital landscape.
