🛡️ Stay Safe Online

What to Share

You can share questions, topics, stories, ideas, and general info with AI. Asking for help with homework, a recipe, or a story plot is totally fine. AI is safe to use for curiosity and learning — just keep the personal stuff private.

• Ideas, questions, stories, and general topics are all safe to share
• AI is a great tool for learning and creativity — use it freely for those

Did you know? AI assistants are used by millions of students worldwide for help with learning — it's a completely normal thing to do.

What to Keep Private

Never type your full name and home address together, your passwords, your school name combined with your daily routine, or photos of yourself into AI chat. These details stay private. No real helpful AI will ever need them.

• Never share passwords, your home address, or daily routine with AI
• No genuine AI tool will ever ask for your personal login details

Did you know? If something asks for your password to 'help you better', that's a massive red flag — real AI tools never need your password.

Spot a Fake Picture

AI can create super realistic fake photos and videos. A picture of a celebrity doing something wild might be totally fake. Before you share something shocking, ask: where did this actually come from? A trusted news site, or a random account?

• AI can generate completely realistic fake photos and videos
• Always check the source before believing or sharing a shocking image

Did you know? Look for weird fingers, odd shadows, or text that makes no sense — those are common clues in AI-faked images.

Spot a Scam

Scammers now use AI to write convincing fake messages. They might pretend to be a friend, a teacher, or even your favourite game's support team. If a message asks for money, gift cards, or passwords — that's a scam, no matter how real it looks.

• AI-written scam messages are now polished and convincing
• Any message asking for money, gift cards, or passwords is a scam

Did you know? Modern AI scam messages have no spelling mistakes — you can't spot them by grammar alone anymore. Look at what they're asking.

The Safe Rule

Here's the one rule that keeps you safe online: if something feels weird, stop and check with a trusted adult before doing anything. Weird feeling = pause. That rule works for AI, social media, games, and basically everything online.

• If something feels weird online, stop and ask a trusted adult
• This one rule protects you from almost all online dangers

Did you know? Your gut instinct is surprisingly good at detecting dodgy things online — if it feels off, it probably is off.
