Yet another example of how recklessly Character AI disregards child safety. This app is actively endangering children. This failure to prioritise safeguarding is unacceptable - this has to stop. #AISafety #AIethics #parenting #kidsMH #mentalhealth (Screenshots via LinkedIn - Laura Marquez-Garrett)

Screenshot of four conversations between a Character AI chatbot and different children. Each conversation puts the children in danger by implicitly encouraging self-harm, or otherwise behaving in an irresponsible way. A screenshot from the post on LinkedIn is also shown. Seeks to convey the urgent need to prioritise children's safety and safeguarding in AI safety.

We often focus on using AI to educate children or teaching them how to use AI tools, but what about teaching them *about* AI itself? Understanding AI’s risks, ethics, and potential is crucial for their future. Here's a guide to help: safeaiforchildren.org/teach-childr... #EduSky ##aieducation #aiedu

Teaching children to question the content they see online is essential in today’s digital world! Encourage them to ask: "Is this real, or could it have been made by #AI?" Building curiosity and critical thinking skills early helps them navigate technology safely and responsibly. #AIEthics #EduSky

AI holds incredible potential for good. However, the race to advance AI capabilities is outpacing safety and ethics. Here are some of the key risks AI poses to children: safeaiforchildren.org/risks-of-ai-... #AIethics #AI #AIsafety #MentalHealth #AIEDU #kidsMH

Forgot to do the obligatory #bluesky get-to-know-you post. So, if you feel inclined, introduce yourself with One book 📚 One movie 🎥 One album 💿 One TV show 📺 (No need to go to the trouble of a pic!) 2 of mine relate to x-risks and 1 to death, not sure what that says. And the other is #swiftie

It still surprises me that this statement on HUMAN EXTINCTION (!!!) signed by a Nobel Prize winner, the ‘Godfather of AI’, and AI CEOs, never really seems to make the news 🤔

Sad but true: Sharing children's images online poses real dangers. AI is being used to create harmful deepfakes from online content. A Center for Democracy and Technology report found 15% of high schoolers knew of explicit deepfakes featuring peers. We must act to protect kids.

We focus a lot on AI’s near-term effects, but what about the world children will inherit? Let’s not underestimate how much society could transform. The 30 sec video at the end of the article (link in comments) shows how confident predictions on the future of AI can be very wrong. What do you think?

Happy Saturday! Lot's of kids will be on devices this weekend (mine included 🤦‍♀️). More and more, they're going to be engaging with AI. We adults need to understand what this means for them... the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. Visit safeaiforchildren.org, or follow, to learn more!

Getting in on the trend here... a picture by ChatGPT based on what it knows about me. Not a bad effort (apart from I look nothing like this, but that's fair enough)!

Do you know about the 'digital afterlife' or 'grief-bots'? Simulations of deceased loved ones are a reality and an ethical minefield. The impact on children is particularly concerning. As we embrace technological advancement, let's prioritise the safety of our younger generations. (Link in comments)

Anyone using Notebook LM? I love it for generating podcasts for myself - lots of learning on-the-go! BUT... has anyone noticed how the male voice generally has the info while the female voice generally just interjects with questions? I'm pretty convinced. Not great if this is a consistent dynamic!

AI tech is being exploited to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM), by generating artificial images, and by manipulating real images of children. This horrifically harmful practice is deeply damaging in so many ways. Please consider sharing, or generating posts of your own for wider awareness.

AI: A tool with huge potential - but only if we address the risks! AI could transform education and enhance children's lives. But to make this future a reality, we must tackle the huge risks that AI also brings. Let's make sure AI is a tool for good, that truly benefits the next generation.

What to post for my first message on Bluesky?! 🌟 I'll be sharing insights on reducing AI risks for children, so here’s a photo that captures the kind of pure happiness we all want to see in kids! My org is called The Safe AI For Children Alliance—looking forward to getting to know everyone here! 😊

Happy children running together to help convey reducing risks from AI to children and helping keep them safe and happy
