AI and saying no to scary AI content

If AI ever shows you something scary or weird, you can stop and tell a grown-up.

Some examples

• Close the chat or app right away.
• Tell a parent or teacher what happened.
• It is not your fault — you did the right thing by telling.

Try it!

Name one trusted grown-up you would tell. Picture saying 'something weird popped up.'

You are always allowed to close and tell someone

Sometimes AI tools, especially ones that make images or videos, can produce content that is scary, violent, or very upsetting — even when that was not what you asked for. Other times you might be shown something through a friend's link or on a website that uses AI and it turns out to be disturbing. Whatever the reason: you do not have to keep looking. You are always allowed to close the tab, put the phone down, or walk away from the screen. The second thing you do is tell a trusted adult — a parent, a teacher, or another grown-up you trust. You are not in trouble for seeing something bad. You did not choose it. Telling an adult is the right and brave move, and it helps make sure the same thing does not happen to other kids. Trusted adults can report harmful AI content, block certain websites, or help you process anything upsetting you saw. You never have to handle it alone.

• Close the app or tab immediately if content feels scary or wrong
• You are not in trouble for accidentally seeing something bad
• Tell a trusted adult what happened — parent, teacher, or school counselor
• Trusted adults can report the content so it helps protect others too
