Digital Risks and Resilience
摘要
Digitalization, accelerated by developments in the World Wide Web (WWW) and artificial intelligence (AI), has altered the way children learn, converse, and interact. While such technologies generate tremendous education and participation opportunities, they also bring unparalleled digital threats such as cyberbullying, exploitation, and violation of privacy. This chapter discusses the notion of digital risk and resilience by understanding the way that children aged under 18 operate in the virtual world and cope in heterogenous socio-cultural environments, especially in Southeast Asia. Multidisciplinary insights from education, law, technology, and psychology are utilized to scrutinize policy frameworks and research studies empirically to consecrate factors that advocate for safe digital exposure. The research grips that the digital resilience of children needs joint efforts from the sides of their parents, educators, policy writers, technology sectors, and international organizations. This chapter advocates for a multi-stakeholder model for digital risk reduction that combines the principles of behavioral science, digital competence, and regulatory change. Finally, it contends that the resilience and empowerment of children, together with appropriate policy and psychiatric assistance, are crucial for building equitable and secure digital environments amidst the AI-powered world of connectivity.
