Small voices, big stakes: How children's rights shape AI governance at UNICEF Aotearoa

What if your AI policies are holding back your mission?

At UNICEF Aotearoa, we realised our AI governance framework had to focus on more than just child protection—we needed to actively empower the children we serve. We’ll explore how shifting to mission-driven AI governance can transform your strategy’s impact. 

Let’s build AI frameworks that advance your organisational purpose, not just prevent problems, creating stronger policies that serve both innovation and ethics.

Who is this talk for?

Tech leads, engineering managers, anyone involved in AI governance or policy development at mission-driven organisations, and developers wrestling with how to implement AI ethically while still advancing business goals.

What will attendees take away?

• The importance of having an AI framework.

• Ideas for examining how they implement AI in their organisation.

• Confidence to challenge assumptions.
