Systemization of Knowledge (SoK): Human-Centered AI Safety for Youth
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.08554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While HCI increasingly examines AI-safety for youth, the literature lacks a comprehensive view of what risks have been identified, how they are addressed, and whether proposed protections work in-practice. We systematically reviewed 100 empirical HCI studies involving children and youth interacting with or exposed to AI across schools, homes, care settings, and public services. Using the YAIR taxonomy for risks and the MIT Mitigation Taxonomy for countermeasures, we map which risks have been identified, whether each risk is addressed by counter

Why it matters
“Systemization of Knowledge (SoK): Human-Centered AI Safety for Youth” shows why AI risk cannot be reduced to answer accuracy. Access controls, logging, human approval and incident response need to be designed into the workflow from the start.
