Don’t build AI without young people. If AI is going to shape young people’s opportunities, they should have a meaningful role in shaping it too. As part of the #AIandSocialMobilityChallengePrize, members of the EY Foundation’s #YouthVoiceForum have shared what they want from AI and emerging technologies that aim to create opportunity. The result is Don’t Build AI Without Us: A #YouthManifesto for AI That Creates Opportunity. The manifesto calls on founders, funders and decision makers to: → Create opportunity, not deepen inequality → Make AI accessible and understandable → Challenge bias → Protect human connection and choice → Build with young people from the beginning It also asks an important question about how we define success: how will we know whether technology has genuinely improved opportunities, rather than simply increased efficiency or profit? The message from young people is clear. Responsible AI is not only about building technology for people. It is about ensuring that those affected by it have a voice in what gets built.

Apply by 20 July and receive funding and support to grow your AI or emerging tech solution. AI won't improve social mobility on its own. While much of the conversation around AI focuses on risk, we also need to invest in the people building technology that expands opportunity responsibly. AI and emerging technologies have the potential to improve access to personalised learning, career guidance, mentoring, digital skills, inclusive recruitment, and employment. The challenge is ensuring these opportunities reach the young people who stand to benefit most. That's why the AI and Social Mobility Challenge Prize is supporting ventures developing practical, responsible, and scalable solutions that help young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds overcome barriers to opportunity. If you're building an AI or emerging technology solution that could help widen opportunities for young people, we'd love to hear from you. Applications close on 20 July.
