What are the responsibilities and job description for the Volunteer AI Software & Web Developer position at Keep AI Safe?
Many organizations care about children and AI. Few are built to act on it.
Protecting a child from AI harm takes more than concern. It takes independence from the companies being evaluated, a focus built for children specifically, the technical skill to test how these systems behave with kids, the standards and certification that turn a finding into a benchmark the industry has to meet, and guidance the adults around a child can actually use.
Every field that touches this problem holds part of the answer. Universities produce the research. Reviewers and advocates reach families. Children's health leaders carry trusted authority. AI-safety groups understand the engineering. Keep AI Safe is built where all of them meet, and it is the only one assembling them into working infrastructure that tests children's AI, rates it, and certifies what is safe.
