How do we prepare the next generation for a world where AI and connectivity are a given?
In this episode, host Ian Ginn welcomes Martine de Leeuw, Co-founder and CMO of Chat License, a startup providing a digital “driver’s licence” for children.
Martina explains the philosophy behind Chat License: a science-backed, gamified app developed with Erasmus University Rotterdam that helps families navigate the transition to a child’s first digital device. Rather than just restricting access, Chat License empowers children with the skills to handle photo sharing, scams, and digital etiquette.
What you’ll learn:
- Why “prevention” is key to tackling cybercrime and digital addiction.
- The role of telcos and cities (like Amsterdam and Rotterdam) in promoting digital citizenship.
- How to have meaningful conversations with your children about their favourite games, like FIFA or Roblox.
- Martina’s advice for entrepreneurs looking to use AI for good.
