A protective standard governing minors' interaction with AI systems, characterised by the presence and coverage of age-appropriate safeguards such as age assurance and content or contact restrictions; a graded property of a system's safeguards rather than a discrete event.
STATE. Operationalized as safeguard coverage: the proportion of a predefined minor-protection control set (age assurance, restricted content categories, contact/data limits, escalation paths) that is present and active in the system (0-1). It indexes implemented protection breadth, not a single intervention.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Compliance checklist audit against the defined minor-protection control set; coverage could be reported as the proportion of controls verifiably active, with each control independently checked. Two auditors classify a sample; per-control present/absent agreement could be reported as Cohen's kappa.
