    Youth and the Digital Economy: Exploring Youth Practices, Motivations, Skills, Pathways, and Value Creation
    (Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, 2020-06-08) Lombana Bermudez, Andres; Cortesi, Sandra; Fieseler, Christian; Gasser, Urs; Hasse, Leanne; Newlands, Gemma; Wu, Sarah
    Young people’s lives are increasingly shaped by digital technologies. While significant digital divides and participation gaps remain, an increasing number of young people around the globe participate in and contribute to the digitally networked environment in many forms, ranging from creative expression on social media to interactive gaming and collaboration. This spotlight explores young people’s digital engagement through the lens of the digital economy and seeks to gain an initial understanding of youth’s practices, motivations, skills, pathways, and modes of value creation as they interact with a digital environment in which the boundaries between the commercial and personal spheres, between work and play, are often blurring. The spotlight summarizes key insights from a trans-Atlantic exploratory research collaboration between Youth and Media at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and the Nordic Centre for Internet and Society at BI Norwegian Business School. In addition to sketching building blocks toward a framework, the paper brings together three essays that explore in different application contexts both the opportunities and challenges that surface when young people engage with and participate in the digital economy.

    Youth and Digital Citizenship+ (Plus): Understanding Skills for a Digital World
    (Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, 2020-03-20) Cortesi, Sandra; Hasse, Leanne; Lombana Bermudez, Andres; Kim, Sonia; Gasser, Urs
    Digital citizenship has become a topic of growing importance among academics and policymakers alike, at the center of debate and theorization around the skills youth need to navigate and actively participate in our digital world. On a global level, a variety of stakeholders — including government, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and academia — have adopted the term to develop and shape formal and informal learning programs that aim to help youth address the challenges and embrace the opportunities the digital environment may present. Yet, there is little consensus as to the broad areas (e.g., safety and well-being, civic and political engagement, identity exploration), and skills within them, digital citizenship should encompass. In this spotlight, Youth and Media explores the concept of digital citizenship, providing an overview of the current dialogue surrounding the term, with a focus on several key questions. Why does digital citizenship matter? Why has the concept become central in discussions about youth (ages 12-18), education, and learning in the 21st century? In a world where the online and offline are increasingly blending, to what extent should we emphasize the role of the “digital” in “digital citizenship”? To what degree do youth feel connected to the term “citizen?” How is the concept of digital citizenship similar to or different from other concepts, such as digital literacy or 21st century skills? How should we approach these concepts to more effectively foster the skills youth need to thrive in today’s society? And to what extent have we as decision-makers, academics, and educators been successful at incorporating youth voices in the development, implementation, and evaluation of digital citizenship initiatives?

    Youth and Artificial Intelligence: Where We Stand
    (Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, 2019-05) Hasse, Leanne; Cortesi, Sandra; Lombana Bermudez, Andres; Gasser, Urs
    While much has been written about the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on society more broadly, little work has focused on how youth (12-18-year-olds) interact with and are impacted by AI. This spotlight reviews recent literature and examples on artificial intelligence and its impact on the lives of youth in domains such as education, health and well-being, creativity and entertainment, and the future of work. This piece is not intended to be a comprehensive discussion of all the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for young people; instead, the spotlight aims to highlight some of the Youth and Media team’s initial exploratory learnings and questions around the interplay between AI and youth. The main aim is to share preliminary observations as well as highlight questions for a concerned public audience and provide different entry points for further exploration our team is pursuing.
