AI remembers everything. Responsibility starts with you.
I have just returned from the Erasmus+ project “AI AND CYBERSECURITY IN YOUTH WORK”, where together with youth workers, trainers and project managers from different countries we explored how artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are changing youth work.
This was not just about new tools.
We focused mainly on values, responsibility, safety, ethics and mental wellbeing. It was important for me to see very concretely how AI affects decision‑making, communication, content creation, privacy, data protection and the trust between young people and youth workers.
During these days we had many practical activities and workshops. For the first time, I controlled a robot myself, I saw real cybersecurity scenarios up close and I gained a clearer understanding of why the European Union takes AI regulation so seriously – to make sure our data is not just “fuel” for systems we do not control.
Another very important part was the people.
I met participants with whom we are already planning joint projects and cooperation. These connections, in my view, are one of the biggest returns of this kind of programme.
Even though part of the group, including myself, managed to get sick during the project, the experience did not become any less valuable. I brought back not only knowledge, but also a very clear understanding of how to integrate these topics into my work and business.
Now I use this understanding to support others – so that artificial intelligence is used consciously and safely, not blindly and by inertia.
Thank you to all participants, partners, trainers and organisers who created this space to learn and grow. AI keeps changing, risks evolve, but responsibility remains.
