EMPOWERING YOUTH IN THE DIGITAL ERA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL AND AI TECHNOLOGIES

Youth empowerment is becoming increasingly important in the digital age, as new opportunities and difficulties arise from the use of digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Using a focus on the many opportunities and intricate problems presented by digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, this study examines the state of young empowerment in the digital era. The research investigates how digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technology can empower young people in several areas, such as civic engagement, work, education, and entrepreneurship. It looks at how these technologies facilitate young populations' access to knowledge, training, and skill-building, which in turn promotes youth populations' inventiveness, creativity, and socioeconomic mobility. Additionally, the study explores the difficulties and dangers brought about by young people's widespread use of digital and AI technology, including issues with biased algorithms, privacy, cybersecurity, including digital literacy. In addition, it looks at how these difficulties can make already-existing disparities worse, especially for young people from marginalized communities, and prevent them from taking advantage of all the benefits the digital age has to offer. This article addresses the consequences of regulations along with suggestions towards properly utilizing the power of digital and artificial intelligence technology to empower adolescents while reducing related hazards. To ensure equitable access and participation of the youth, it emphasizes the importance of comprehensive digital literacy programs, ethical AI education, regulatory frameworks, and inclusive digital infrastructure. All things considered, this study will illuminate the complex relationship that exists between digital and AI technologies and youth empowerment, emphasizing the necessity of proactive approaches to seize chances and resolve obstacles to build a more equitable and accessible digital future for youth across the globe.
