ChildX Award 2026<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Digitalization has made the internet the primary arena for the sexual exploitation of children and young people. <\/strong>Over half of young people<\/span><\/a> have experienced some form of sexual harm online in their childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapid development of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the playing field. AI today represents a double-edged sword. Helplines report a sharp increase in AI-generated abuse material, and the justice system is struggling to distinguish synthetic content from material depicting real children. <\/span>In a 2023 study,<\/span><\/a> the Internet Watch Foundation found more than <\/span>20,000 AI-generated sexual abuse images<\/span> on a single darknet forum\u2014in just one month. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the same technology can also become a powerful part of the solution.<\/strong> AI\u2019s ability to analyze large amounts of data can, for example, make police investigations more efficient, help identify vulnerable children earlier, and detect emerging trends and patterns at an early stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why the ChildX Award 2026 will be presented under the theme:\u201cAI as a Tool to Prevent the Sexual Exploitation of Children\u201d. We are looking for groundbreaking initiatives that use AI to protect children across the entire chain\u2014from prevention and detection to intervention and support. We welcome nominations from NGOs, startups, established tech companies, research projects, and public sector initiatives.
\nNow, we invite your nominations!<\/p>\n

Selection Criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Innovation and Effectiveness
    \nHas developed, scaled, or implemented an effective method that uses AI to prevent, detect, or otherwise combat sexual exploitation and abuse of children.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Child Rights-Based Approach<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Operates with the understanding that children are full individuals with their own rights\u2014to protection, privacy, participation, and influence. A child rights-based approach, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ensures that children are not only seen as recipients of protection, but as active participants whose experiences, needs, and perspectives guide decisions and solutions at every stage. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Scalability and Potential for Impact
    \nHas the potential to be implemented on a larger scale\u2014across more platforms, regions, or countries\u2014to achieve broader impact.<\/li>\n
  4. Ethics and Accountability
    \nDemonstrates a clear and responsible approach to data protection and ethical use of technology, with special attention to children\u2019s right to privacy and safety.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
