Families
Helping families use AI with sensible boundaries
Talk about what AI can get wrong
Children should understand that fluent answers can still be inaccurate, biased or fabricated. Encourage checking rather than automatic trust.
Set a privacy rule
A practical family rule is simple: do not paste private family information, passwords, school logins, addresses or intimate images into an AI service.
Homework: support, not substitution
AI can explain concepts and help structure revision, but copying generated work can undermine learning and may breach school rules.
Prepare for impersonation scams
Families can agree a private verification phrase or a separate contact routine for unexpected requests involving money or emergencies.
