What to expect

YACVic supports the Responsible AI in Youth Sectors Network (RAI YSN), a cross-sector network of Victorian professionals who are committed to critically exploring the ethical, practical, and governance challenges of using generative AI (GenAI) in youth contexts.  

The network supports shared learning, sector-led discussion, and collaborative development of guidance for practice and policy. RAI YSN is particularly focused on ensuring emerging technologies strengthen, rather than undermine, trust, participation, and equity in youth services.

The next RAI SYN meeting is:

  • Monday 17th August, 10.30am to 12.00pm - 'Responsible AI Toolkit for the Youth Sector' Launch

'Responsible AI Toolkit for the Youth Sector' Launch

RAI YSN is excited to welcome Tracy Beaton, Principal Commissioner for Children and Young People, to launch the Responsible AI Toolkit for the Youth Sector.

The toolkit is grounded in co-design research workshops with young people and practitioners and has been shaped by input from RAI YSN members. It translates the experiences, concerns, and expectations of young people and practitioners into a set of practical resources designed to support individuals and organisations when making decisions about the use of AI.

Who should attend

If you are working with or for young people in some way within your role then we would encourage you to join the network. 

RAI YSN focuses on: 

  • Ethical and youth-centred AI practice 

  • Transparency, consent, and accountability 

  • Emerging opportunities and risks 

  • Practical tools, guidance, and shared learning. 

You do not need to be an AI expert to join.

  • Short updates on AI developments across the sector 

  • Opportunities to share experiences and challenges 

  • Collaborative development of practical resources and guidance
