Navigating the digital world with your child

AI Advice for Parents

If your child is already expressing an interest in AI apps, a chat with them should help you to discover howmuch they understand about it and how they’re using them (or planning to). Discuss these options with your child and perhaps do your own research to ensure you think they are suitable. Explore as a family its strengths and weakness and effects AI can have. Talk about its inaccuracies, biases, and stereotypes and whether it is appropriate to get the AI bot to do their homework! Experiment with AI together - a lot of fun can be had when used well.
