The big idea
AI apps are made by people you do not know. The same safety rules for online strangers apply: do not share personal info, tell a grown-up if anything feels weird.
Some examples
- Do NOT share your full name, address, school, or phone number with AI.
- Do NOT share photos of yourself, your family, or your home with AI.
- Do NOT meet up with anyone you only know through an AI chat.
- DO tell a grown-up if AI says something that makes you feel weird, scared, or sad.
Try it!
Make a family rule list for AI safety. Three rules everyone agrees to. Stick it on the fridge. Now everyone is on the same page.
