Nawrocka spoke at a conference titled "Fostering the Future Together," hosted by US First Lady Melania Trump and attended by dozens of first ladies and first gentlemen from around the world.
"For the younger generation, the digital world is not an 'addition,' but an inherent part of everyday life; it is a tremendous opportunity for development, but also a responsibility for all of us," Nawrocka said.
She told the gathering that addressing online risks requires "a combined approach of education, support and responsibility," so that children can use technology safely while parents and teachers feel equipped to guide them.
She also urged digital creators to take children’s well-being into account at the design stage when developing new technologies.
The event in the White House's East Room opened with an unusual moment as Melania Trump entered accompanied by a robot that greeted participants in multiple languages, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
The US first lady said technological advances are accelerating rapidly and predicted that artificial intelligence will soon move beyond smartphones into robotics.
"Very soon, artificial intelligence will move from our mobile phones to humanoids that deliver utility," she said, describing a shift toward machines capable of interacting directly with users in real-world environments, according to the White House.
An AI-powered humanoid educator could help develop analytical and problem-solving skills while adapting to a student's knowledge and even emotional state, she added.
Nawrocka warned about the risks posed by new technologies.
"That is why it is so important that we do not leave children alone in the digital world," she said.
The conference brought together first spouses from 45 countries, with Nawrocka among eight participants invited to deliver remarks, according to Polish Radio’s Washington correspondent Marek Wałkuski.
The "Fostering the Future Together" initiative builds on discussions held in September last year in New York during a UN General Assembly meeting, where Melania Trump outlined her vision for the effort and met Nawrocka for the first time, the Polish President’s Office said.
