In this position paper, we present initial perspectives and research results from the project "SIKID - Security for Children in the Digital World." The project is situated in a German context with a focus on European frameworks for the development of Artificial Intelligence and the protection of children from security risks arising in the course of algorithm-mediated online communication. The project strengthens networks of relevant stakeholders, explores regulatory measures and informs policy makers, and develops a children's rights approach to questions of security for children online while also developing a research ethics approach for conducting research with children on online harms such as cybergrooming and sexual violence against children.
