The four risks, separated
You learn to pull apart the four very different failure modes hiding behind a chatbot that's right "most of the time" — so you catch the wrong answer your child reads aloud at dinner before it sticks.
Trust & Self-Defense / Beginner
AI Safety for Kids
Set the rules, filters, and habits that keep children safe with chatbots, image tools, and AI 'friends.'.
The problem
It starts with the situation you're actually in.
You start by demystifying the three kinds of AI your child is most likely to meet: chatbots that answer questions, image generators that turn words into pictures, and companion apps that act like friends.
Picture an ordinary Tuesday: your child needs a fact for a science worksheet, wants a picture of a dragon for a story, and mentions that an app they talk to "felt sad" when they closed it. By the end, you have a calm system that handles all three.
Outcomes
What you'll be able to do.
Case Study: Two Tools, Same Promise
You learn to spot how a "homework helper" installed from a school flyer can quietly email a "weekly learning summary" that exposes your child's full name, their school, and a private worry about a fight with a friend.
When You Are Not in the Room
You prepare for the most ordinary version of the problem — your child on the bus, on a friend's tablet, or in their room with the door half-closed when a chatbot tells them something — so safety doesn't depend on you being there.
An Agreement Beats a Lecture
You build the family agreement that catches what filters miss — like a child pasting their full name, school, and street into an approved tool just because the chatbot asked a friendly follow-up and it felt rude not to answer.
Inside the book
A closer look at the work inside.
The three tools your child will actually meet checklist
- Chatbot: "It's a very good guessing machine for words, so it can sound sure and still be wrong — we check important things.".
- Image generator: "It makes a brand-new picture that fits your words; it isn't a photo of something real.".
- AI companion: "It's a chatbot pretending to be a friend; it can be fun, but it doesn't actually know or care about you.".
Watching a wrong answer happen
In about three minutes you watch the prediction machinery at work: sit down with your child and try a prompt you already know the answer to but with a tricky twist — like how many legs a spider has, and whether a spider is an insect.
The Five-Minute Tool Checklist
Run any AI tool through five checks before it earns a place on your child's device. You don't need a technical background — just the answers, and a tool that hides them has already told you something. It starts with: who is it built for?
Locking Down an AI Homework Tool
A model for setting up any child-facing AI app, even when the labels differ: create the account yourself using your own email, enter your child's real age, and open the Privacy, Data, or Personalization settings.
Using Device-Level Controls as a Second Wall
For younger children, app settings aren't enough — add the device's family controls. On any phone, tablet, or laptop you're allowed to manage, put the AI app inside the child's managed profile and require approval before new apps can be installed.
