BSI Reports and Whitepapers provide expert insights, guidance, and analysis on various topics related to standards, compliance, and best practices. They are designed to inform and educate organizations, industries, and policymakers about emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in areas where standards play a critical role.

This episode is an audio-abridged version of the BSI Report - Supporting a safe and secure digital world for adolescents.

Published in May 2025, the report reveals that nearly half (47%) of young people aged 16 to 21 would prefer to grow up without the internet - a stark reflection of concerns about its impact on their wellbeing. Drawing on a survey of 1,293 UK adolescents, it shows that time spent online has increased since COVID-19, with many spending hours each day on social media and gaming. Despite this, 42% admit to hiding their online activity from parents, and risky behaviours, such as creating fake profiles are common. The findings highlight the urgent need for stronger privacy and safety measures by tech companies and policymakers to protect young users’ mental health and online safety.

In this episode, Matthew speaks with academic and philosopher Catherine Botha, Professor of Art, Culture, and Technology at the University of Johannesburg.

Together, they explore whether there's a uniquely African context for AI development - and what cultural, social, and economic values should guide its deployment across the continent.

They also dive into ISO/IEC 42001, asking whether this AI management systems standard is flexible and inclusive enough to reflect Africa’s specific needs.

Catherine also unpacks the concept of the Philosophy of AI - what it means, and why it matters - and shares her ‘standards journey’, one inspired by her very savvy students.

It’s part conversation, part audio love letter to the stakeholder-driven standards process: grounded in transparency, consensus, and voluntarism, and - as Catherine argues - essential to delivering social justice in the age of AI.
