Never Meet Anyone You Met Through AI

Some apps connect you to other people through AI. Even if someone seems nice online, you should never agree to meet them in real life or share where you live. Tell a grown-up if anyone asks.

Some examples

• Never share your address through an AI app.
• Don't agree to meet anyone you only know online.
• Don't send photos of yourself to people online.
• Tell a parent if anyone asks for personal info.

Try it!

Practice saying: 'I have to ask my parent first.' Say it out loud 3 times.

Why Online Friendliness Is Not the Same as Real Safety

Some apps connect you to other people through AI or AI-assisted chat features. A person online can seem really nice — funny, kind, interested in the same things as you — but that doesn't mean they are who they say they are. It's easy to make up a persona online. People have made up whole fake identities — including pretending to be kids or teens — to talk to young people. This is why no matter how nice someone seems online, you should never agree to meet them in real life, and never share information that tells them where you are — your address, your school name, your neighborhood, or your daily routine. If anyone online asks for this kind of information, tell a parent or trusted adult right away. You won't get in trouble for reporting it — you'll be protecting yourself and possibly other kids too.

• Online friendliness does not prove someone is safe — people can pretend to be anyone
• Never share your address, school name, or daily routine with anyone online
• Never agree to meet someone in real life who you only know from an app or game
• Tell a trusted adult immediately if anyone online asks for personal information or to meet
