The European Union’s Digital Rulebook has undergone intensive transformation over the past decade, with the introduction of new chapters, such as the Digital Services Act (DSA) or the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). Though these frameworks have different objectives and scopes, they inevitably interact, creating the need for research to assess whether they complement or contradict each other. The stakes are even higher when the rights of vulnerable groups, particularly children, are affected. Using a children’s rights-based approach, the ORCHID project aims to map and critically assess the interdependencies, overlaps, and potential frictions between these regimes, ultimately proposing interpretative pathways that support a more coherent and rights-respecting application of the EU legal framework in practice.
