Generative AI – What Parents and Carers Need to Know
Generative AI tools (like ChatGPT or image generators) are becoming increasingly popular with young people. They can be exciting, creative, and helpful for learning, but they also raise important issues around safety, privacy, and reliability.
Key things to know:
- Not always accurate – AI can produce convincing but incorrect information.
- Privacy risks – Anything typed in may be stored and used to train systems.
- Age restrictions – Most platforms require users to be 13+.
- Positive use – AI can support homework, creativity, and problem-solving when guided.
- Your role – Talk to your child about how they use AI, encourage questions, and remind them to check information from trusted sources.
