NORTHAMPTON, MA – 12/04/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how young people learn, communicate and interact online, global technology company Gen is strengthening its commitment to digital education through a series of collaborative initiatives aimed at improving AI literacy and online safety. By working alongside leading education providers and nonprofit organizations, the company is helping equip students, educators and families with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly AI-driven world.
In recognition of National AI Literacy Day on March 27, an annual initiative that convenes educators, students and families to explore responsible AI use, Gen joined industry partners in supporting awareness and education efforts. The initiative, organized by a coalition including EDSAFE AI Alliance, aiEDU, Common Sense Media and The Tech Interactive, promotes hands-on learning experiences and professional development opportunities designed to demystify artificial intelligence.
As part of its contribution, Gen collaborated with Discovery Education to launch “Think Smart: Exploring AI and Staying Safe Online,” a new video series tailored for children and young learners. The series introduces foundational AI concepts, highlights its presence in everyday digital experiences and provides guidance on identifying potential risks. The content is available at no cost through My Digital Life, a multilingual platform developed by Discovery Education and Norton, a Gen brand.
Strengthening AI Literacy in Classrooms
Gen’s ongoing partnership with Discovery Education and the National AfterSchool Association has supported the development of My Digital Life since 2023. The platform delivers curriculum-aligned resources for educators worldwide, focusing on essential digital citizenship topics such as cyberbullying, misinformation and personal data protection.
Targeting students in grades 3 through 8, the platform integrates lesson plans, interactive tools and video content designed to foster critical thinking and responsible online behavior. Gen’s technical expertise contributes to maintaining the accuracy and relevance of these materials in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
The newly introduced AI video series builds on this foundation by combining storytelling with practical scenarios, helping students understand how artificial intelligence intersects with everyday online activities. The program encourages thoughtful engagement with technology while reinforcing safe and ethical usage.
Since its launch, My Digital Life has reached nearly 490,000 young people globally. The platform currently supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, French and German, extending its accessibility across diverse regions.
Broadening Access to AI and Digital Safety Education
Gen’s collaboration with Discovery Education forms part of a broader strategy to expand access to AI education worldwide. The company also works with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), contributing to initiatives that empower girls and young women through digital learning.
In 2025, new AI-focused modules were introduced into Surf Smart 2.0, a nonformal education program co-developed by WAGGGS and Norton. The program has reached more than 850,000 participants globally and explores how AI technologies, such as chatbots and content recommendation systems, influence daily life. It also encourages participants to establish healthy boundaries when interacting with emerging digital tools.
Additionally, Gen supports Discovery Education’s Digital Citizenship Initiative, which provides middle and high school students with resources to better understand the role of AI in shaping online experiences. The initiative emphasizes respectful, informed and responsible digital participation.
Gen further contributed to educator development through participation in “Teaching AI with Confidence: Skills and Strategies for AI Literacy Day,” a panel discussion offering practical guidance on integrating AI literacy into classroom instruction. The session highlighted age-appropriate teaching strategies and reinforced the importance of preparing students for an AI-enabled future.
Through continued collaboration with educators, nonprofits and industry stakeholders, Gen aims to ensure that young people not only understand the technologies shaping their digital lives but are also empowered to use them safely, responsibly and with confidence.
