AI Safety

Every AI tool you use is a decision about what data you share and with whom. Most people never read the settings page where that decision gets made. This section covers the practical side of AI safety: what actually happens to the text you paste into a chatbot, which privacy settings matter, and how to talk to kids and older relatives about AI without either scaring them or leaving them unprepared.

I am a parent, and several of these guides started as conversations at my own kitchen table. The goal is not alarm. AI tools are safe to use if you know a handful of rules, like never pasting passwords or financial details, and checking whether your chats are used for training. These guides give you those rules in plain language, with the exact menus and settings shown.
