Make an agreement for AI

A simple agreement for what AI may see, when its answers need checking, and how children use it.

TonightAbout 20 minutesEveryone knows what never enters an AI tool and when a human must verify.

AI may help

Explain, translate, brainstorm, practise, compare, and make a first draft.

AI may be wrong

Names, dates, health, law, money, and school facts need a trusted source.

AI is not a confidant

A chatbot is a service. Do not give it the family’s secrets or a child’s private life.

The voice sounds exactly right

Notice

A relative appears to call or message with an emergency and asks for money, secrecy, or a code.

Pause. Do not trust the voice or caller ID. Use the family phrase, hang up, and call the person back on a number already saved. Ask another family member if they cannot be reached.
