Staying Safe Online

Being online means using the internet on a phone, tablet, or computer. AI is part of many things we do online.

If something online makes you feel scared, confused, or uncomfortable, stop what you are doing and tell a grown-up immediately.

Telling a grown-up about something scary online is not tattling — it is being brave and smart. Grown-ups want to help you.

Too much screen time is not healthy. Balance AI and internet time with playing outside, reading books, and spending time with family.

Just like in real life, use kind words when you are online. AI can help you practice nice communication.

Some information online is wrong or made up. AI can also give wrong information. Check facts with a grown-up or trusted source.

AI can make pictures and videos that look real but are not. These are called deepfakes. Not everything you see is real.

When you are done using a shared device, log out. This keeps your information private from the next person who uses it.

Stick to apps and games that are designed for kids. These have special safety features to protect you.

You get to decide what you share online. If someone pressures you to share information, say no and tell a grown-up.

Every time you go online, make safe choices. Think before you click, keep info private, and ask for help when you need it.

Never tell AI or websites your full name, address, or school. This information should stay private between you and your family.

Keep personal info private, use kid-safe apps, watch out for fake content, and always tell a grown-up if something feels wrong.

Your password is like a key to your stuff. Never share it with AI helpers, websites you do not trust, or other kids.

A grown-up should be nearby when you use AI or browse the internet. They help you stay safe and make good choices.

If you get a weird message from someone you do not know, do not answer. Tell a grown-up right away. Some messages try to trick you.

Only use websites and apps that are safe for kids. Grown-ups help choose which ones are okay. Look for kid-friendly labels.

Do not click on links or buttons you do not recognize. Some links can lead to unsafe places. Ask a grown-up if you are not sure.

When you talk to AI, it might remember what you said. That is why we do not share private information — AI could save it.

Do not share photos of yourself or your family with AI or on websites without a grown-up's permission. Photos contain private info.
