“As AI becomes increasingly integrated into young people’s online lives- it is vital that we empower them to use these technologies safely and responsibly. Safer Internet Day 2026 provides a crucial platform to explore both the opportunities and challenges AI presents. Protecting children from harmful content remains one of the BBFC’s core principles. Beyond classifying films and video content, we work with mobile networks and streaming services to enhance online safety. We are also committed to supporting media literacy, helping young people make informed viewing choices and stay safe online. Our newly established BBFC Safer Screens Forum highlights the importance of working together to create a safer online world for children.”
