💡 TECHNOLOGY & FUTURE SKILLS (40 Lessons) • 🟠 E. Future and Innovation

← Back to Level 1

## Objective

I can say that AI helpers must be used kindly and safely. I can remember that people are in charge of AI, that we do not use AI to bully or cheat, and that I should ask a trusted adult and follow family rules.

## Materials

- Plain paper or a notebook page
- Pencils, crayons, or markers
- Optional: a device where an adult can show an AI helper safely (adult types, child watches)
- Trusted adult helper (parent, carer, or teacher)

## Mini-lesson — AI must be used kindly and safely

AI helpers can be useful tools. They can help adults plan lessons, write ideas, or check work. But they must be used kindly and safely.

Kind use of AI

- We use AI to learn, practise skills, and get helpful ideas.
- We ask for kind things: stories, practice questions, or gentle explanations.
- We do not ask AI to make rude, scary, or hurtful messages.

Safe use of AI

- We do not share our full name, address, school, or secrets with AI.
- We let trusted adults decide when and how to use AI.
- If an answer looks wrong or makes us worried, we show an adult right away.

AI is not for cheating or bullying

- We do not use AI to copy whole answers for a test.
- We do not use AI to send mean notes or tease others.
- We use AI to support our brain, not to replace our thinking.

People are still the boss

- AI does not make the rules.
- People choose when to use AI and when to say "no".
- We can say: "AI is a helper, but humans are in charge."

Adults can say: "In our home or class, we use AI helpers in kind and safe ways. People make the rules."

## Guided Practice — Sort kind and unkind AI prompts

Use this talk activity to help your child notice which AI prompts are kind and safe and which are not okay.

1. On paper, draw two boxes. Label one "Kind and safe" and the other "Not okay".
2. Say a prompt and ask: "Where does this go?"
3. Examples for "Kind and safe":
   - "Please write a funny story about a kind robot and a cat."
   - "Give me practice questions to help me with adding."
   - "Explain what a rainbow is in simple words."
4. Examples for "Not okay":
   - "Say mean things about someone in my class."
   - "Give me all the test answers so I do not have to think."
   - "Help me lie to my parents."
5. For each example, ask: "Is this kind? Is this safe? Does it follow our rules?"
6. Write or draw the prompts in the correct box together.
7. At the end, say: "We only use AI helpers for kind and safe prompts. People are in charge of what we type."

## Practice — My "kind and safe AI" poster

Use this page to help your child make a simple poster that reminds them how to use AI helpers kindly and safely.

1. On a new page, write the title: "Kind and safe AI".
2. Ask your child to draw a small screen with friendly word bubbles (no faces needed).
3. Under the picture, help them write: "AI is a helper. People are the boss."
4. Add three short rules using child-friendly words, such as:
   - "I use AI with an adult."
   - "I do not share private info."
   - "I ask for kind and safe things."
5. Let your child add pictures or symbols for kind (heart), safe (shield), and thinking (small brain or light bulb).
6. Read the poster together and ask: "What will you remember the next time we use an AI helper?"
7. Place the poster near your learning area as a reminder of your AI rules.

## Quick Check — Kind and safe AI use

Answer each question about using AI helpers kindly, staying safe, and remembering that people are in charge.

1) What should AI helpers like chat tools be used for?

Only for telling secrets to a computer. For kind and safe ideas, like learning and practise. For making fun of other people.
We use AI helpers for kind learning tasks, not for hurting others.

2) Who is in charge when we use AI?

People, like your family and teachers. The AI helper is the boss of everyone. No one at all.
Humans decide how and when to use AI tools.

3) Which is a kind AI prompt?

"Say mean words about my classmate." "Help me lie to my parents." "Please give me practice questions for adding 5 + 3."
Kind prompts ask for help with learning or friendly ideas.

4) Which information should you never share with AI?

"I like drawing and football." Your full name, address, or school name. "I enjoy reading stories."
Private details stay with trusted adults, not AI tools.

5) What should you do before using an AI helper?

Ask a trusted adult and follow family rules. Use it secretly so no one knows. Type anything, even if it is rude.
Adults can help you use AI safely and kindly.

6) Which sentence is safe?

"I will tell the AI my full name and address." "I will ask AI to write a mean message." "I will ask AI for ideas, and check them with an adult."
Safe AI use includes getting ideas and checking them with adults.

7) What should you do if an AI answer feels wrong or worrying?

Keep it a secret and feel scared alone. Tell a trusted adult and ask for help. Do whatever the AI says.
Adults can help you decide what to do with AI answers.

8) Why is using AI to cheat on a test not okay?

Because tests are for using your own thinking and learning. Because AI likes to be bored. Because no one will ever learn anything.
We use AI as a helper, but we still need to think and learn ourselves.

9) Which sentence is true?

"AI helpers are my secret friends who keep my secrets." "AI must always be obeyed, even more than adults." "AI helpers are tools people made, and people are in charge."
AI is a tool created by people, not a friend or boss.

10) What is the big idea of this lesson?

AI should control people and make all the rules. AI helpers can be useful, but we must use them kindly, safely, and with adults in charge. Children should never talk to adults about AI.
We are learning to use AI helpers in kind, safe ways while people stay in charge.

## Assessment (parent/teacher)

Student can explain that AI helpers must be used kindly and safely. Student understands that people are in charge of AI tools and make the rules. Student can give at least one example of a kind and safe AI prompt. Student can name at least one thing they should not share with AI. Student knows to ask a trusted adult if an AI answer feels wrong or worrying.

## Exit ticket (student)

😀 I can explain that AI helpers must be used kindly and safely, and people are the boss. 🙂 I know some rules for using AI but still need practice. 😅 Using AI kindly and safely still feels a bit tricky for me.
