Checklist compiled from detailed parent interviews with parents covering a range of topics: impact of generative AI on kids, their top concerns, hopes, and what they are looking forward to with AI!

Privacy

Am I sharing my name, school, location or any personal information with AI?

​

✅ Here are safe and fun ways to plan, learn, build, and understand with AI. ✅

​

You want to plan for an event, trip, or occasion.

You can ask AI to plan out an event outline, and give you information on the location, timing, weather, and places to visit.

Ex: I built the travel itinerary above for my family using Cursor.

You want to learn about the world.

You can ask AI to teach you new concepts or about how things work.

Ex: I rode in a Waymo in San Francisco, and I used AI to learn about autonomous vehicles.

You have an idea but I don't know how to start building it.

You can build a website, app, or tool by prompting with generative AI.

Ex: I love the book series Keeper of the Lost Cities, and used Bolt, an AI tool, to build the website above.

You want to dive deeper into a concept.

You can ask AI to describe a very specific concept to you.

Ex: I asked AI to describe a concept in Algebra 1 to me while studying for my math test
