Tundmatu saatja korral palume linke ja faile mitte avada. Dear Ms
Pakosta,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Zeta Rizikianou and I am reaching out on behalf of the Centre
for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL) to invite you to join CIPL’s
panel on “AI and Children: Rethinking Accountability in Digital
Environments” at the 48th Global Privacy Assembly (GPA) that will take
place in Brussels on 16–19 November 2026.

As you may know, the GPA is an annual international forum of data
protection and privacy authorities from around the world, that brings
together regulators and experts to discuss emerging challenges and develop
shared approaches to privacy and data governance. As part of its annual
meeting, the GPA organises an Open Programme that is accessible to all
Congress delegates and GPA members. This year’s GPA is chaired by Privacy
Commissioner Dufresne of Canada.

We are pleased that the GPA programming committee selected our proposal
through a highly competitive review process, recognising its strong
alignment with the Assembly’s priorities and interests. Our panel will
examine the opportunities and challenges arising from the growing use of
AI in children’s digital experiences, with a particular focus on
accountability, governance, and the protection of children’s rights.

Given your expertise, we would be delighted if you would join the panel as
a speaker.

Please find the session details below:

Date: 19 November at 09:45 to 10:45.

Moderator: Natascha Gerlach, Director of Privacy Policy, CIPL

Speakers:

* Rafaela Nicolazzi, Data, Privacy, and Consumer Protection Lead, OpenAI
* Prof. Giovanna Mascheroni , Senior Lecturer of Sociology of
Communication and Culture in the Department of Sociology, Università
Cattolica of Milan
* Carly Kind, Australian Privacy Commissioner, OAIC

Session Description:

AI systems are becoming deeply integrated into everyone’s everyday life,
including the digital environments children navigate daily, from
algorithmically curated videos and feeds to AI-powered learning apps,
chatbots, gaming platforms, and voice assistants. While these technologies
can enhance learning through personalised education, support creativity
and self-expression, improve accessibility, and help children discover
relevant content and communities, they are also prompting growing
questions and concerns around accountability, transparency, and their
potential impact on children’s rights and well-being. Additionally, the
emergence of agentic AI systems - capable of autonomous decision-making,
adaptive behavior, and continuous interaction - marks a significant shift
in how digital technologies shape children’s experiences. These systems
challenge traditional accountability and governance models, raising
questions about responsibility, oversight, and risk management across the
AI lifecycle. This panel will explore how existing regulatory frameworks
could address these challenges, highlight mitigation tools already in
existence and examine how organisations can design and deploy AI systems
that better protect children.

What you will learn:

* How current AI systems impact children and where key governance gaps
exist.
* How agentic AI represents a new layer of complexity.
* Practical approaches to designing and governing AI systems to better
protect children.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you will be able to join
us for this important discussion.

Kind regards,

Zeta Rizikianou
