Not Every AI App is Safe

There are LOTS of AI apps. Some are great for kids, but others aren't. Use only the ones a parent has approved. If a friend shows you a new one, ask first before trying it.

Some examples

• Only use AI apps parents say are okay.
• Ask before downloading any new app.
• Check if an app is for kids your age.
• Read the rules with a grown-up.

Try it!

Make a list of AI apps your family says are okay. Keep the list near the computer.

How to Know If an AI App Is Actually Safe for Kids

Not all AI apps are made with kids in mind. Some are designed for adults and may show content that's confusing, scary, or not right for your age. Some apps look fun and friendly on the outside but were not designed with your safety as a priority. This doesn't mean AI apps are bad — it means you need to know which ones your family has decided are okay. A good way to think about it: just like your family has rules about which movies are appropriate or which neighborhoods are safe to walk in, they also get to have rules about which AI apps you use. If a friend shows you a new AI app and wants you to try it, the answer should be 'I need to ask my parents first.' That's not being boring — that's being smart.

• Only use AI apps your parents or guardians have approved
• Ask before trying any new app a friend shows you
• An app looking kid-friendly doesn't guarantee it is — let adults check
• If an app asks for your personal information right away, that's a warning sign
