Launching youthinfo.ai, ERYICA’s new project on AI

The consortium of this new project, coordinated by ERYICA, youthinfo.ai, had its first face-to-face meeting in Cagliari, on 2-3 December 2025, hosted by Eurodesk Italy. The goal was to review in detail the project’s outcomes, everyone’s roles and responsibilities, and the timeline of the activities. 

This 2-year project will focus on AI in youth information work through different angles:  ethics, the use of chatbots, training on AI and automation, and webinars on critical thinking. 

The first year, six publications will be released. 

• Ethical use of AI in youth information work

• A report on desk research on existing guidelines we can learn from/adapt to a YIW context 

• Guidelines for ethical AI in youth information work (those guidelines aim to be integrated into the European Youth Information Charter)

• Chatbots in youth information work 

• A report on desk research on the use of chatbots in youth information work

• Recommendations and guidelines on the use of chatbots in youth information work

• Guidelines on the impact and use of AI on search engine optimisation (SEO)

• Understanding AI as a youth information worker

• A report on youth information workers’ AI literacy

You will be invited to take part in surveys and focus groups on the matter to let us know about your needs, your knowledge, your habits and your good practices. 

In 2027, the consortium will give European youth info workers the opportunity to attend webinars and trainings. Partners will organise national dissemination events, and the project will be concluded by a final seminar in Autumn 2027.
