In this work, we argue that children’s agency must be a central consideration when designing AI systems for children. Without this, we risk creating a digital society that diminishes their digital resilience, their opportunities to be treated fairly and with respect, and their ability to grow and make choices. We examine potential risks posed by AI for children, how designing for agency relates to broader ethical design concerns, and identify key gaps in current child-centered design practices, particularly in accounting for children’s relationships with others and with technology. We highlight the importance of prioritizing agency in AI systems for children and the need to situate design within children’s social contexts so that we are not only fostering their self-regulation but also their resilience and abilities to navigate complex relationships with AI. We call for immediate action by policymakers, innovators, and researchers to rethink the role of designing for children’s agency in AI systems for children of all ages.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"45 1","pages":"34-40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11459413","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Powered by machine learning algorithms and extensive datasets from wearables, smartphones, and smart environments, HAR systems now achieve high accuracy in recognizing and predicting activities. Beyond technical progress, however, the integration of HAR into everyday life raises critical sociocultural, ethical, and privacy concerns. While HAR supports healthcare interventions, elderly care, safety monitoring, and quality-of-life improvements, it also introduces risks of data misuse, algorithmic discrimination, and pervasive surveillance. These challenges highlight the need for transparent, fair, and accountable implementation strategies. Our review highlights three main findings: 1) HAR technologies demonstrate strong potential in domains such as healthcare, safety, and smart environments; 2) ethical risks—particularly privacy, surveillance, and fairness—remain pressing concerns; and 3) responsible deployment requires updated regulatory frameworks and collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. This article presents a holistic perspective that bridges technical innovations with societal, ethical, and policy dimensions. Unlike prior HAR surveys focused mainly on algorithms or applications, our work emphasizes the dual role of HAR, as both a technological innovation and a societal challenge, offering a multidimensional guide for future development.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"44 4","pages":"22-34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11303539","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
