Before You Use AI
Our Family AI Checklist
Purpose Check
What am I trying to accomplish? Is AI the best tool for this, or would doing it myself help me learn more?
Tool Check
Is this AI tool appropriate for my age? Have my parents approved it? Does it have proper safety settings?
Privacy Check
Am I sharing any private information? No real names, addresses, photos, school details, or anything that identifies me or my family.
Verify Check
AI can be wrong. Will I double-check the facts, answers, or information it gives me before I use it?
Disclose Check
Do I need to tell my teacher, parent, or anyone else that I used AI? If in doubt, always disclose.

Key Insight
The best AI rules are ones your family creates together. When children have a say in setting boundaries, they are far more likely to follow them. Use the fridge chart as a conversation starter, not a top-down decree.
Revisit your family rules every school term. AI tools change quickly and your child's maturity and needs will evolve just as fast.
