Don't Click Strange Links from AI

Sometimes AI shares website links. Some are great, but others might be unsafe or wrong. Always show a parent the link before you click. They can tell if it's a safe place.

Some examples

• Show parents the link before clicking.
• Watch for strange-looking website addresses.
• Don't download anything without asking.
• If a link looks weird, close the tab.

Try it!

Next time AI gives you a link, pause. Show it to a parent and ask: 'Is this safe?'

How to Tell If a Link Is Safe

AI tools sometimes include website links in their answers. Most of the time these are fine, but some links can lead to websites that are confusing, unsafe, or try to steal information. Here are signs a link might be a problem: the web address looks strange or has lots of random numbers and letters, the AI says the site will give you something for free without explaining why, or the address doesn't match the place it claims to be (like a link that says 'bank.com' but the real address is something very different). The best rule is simple: before clicking any link from AI, show it to a trusted adult. They can look at the web address and tell you if it looks safe. You should also never download anything from a link AI gives you — downloads can contain viruses that hurt your computer. If a link ever makes you feel uncomfortable or confused, close the tab and tell a grown-up.

• Check the web address — strange letters and numbers are a warning sign
• Never click a link that promises free things without a clear explanation
• Show all AI-provided links to a trusted adult before clicking
• Never download anything from an AI-provided link without adult permission
