Fully Updated Guides to AI Risks to Children Now Available

Our free guides to the risks from AI to children have been fully updated and are now available. There are two options - a shorter overview and a longer in-depth guide. Most of the risks covered also link to an article that covers it in even more depth.
Fully Updated Guides to AI Risks to Children Now Available


We’ve fully updated both of our main guides to AI risks for children, with clearer explanations, practical advice, and easy navigation so you can go straight to the issue you need.

The parent guide is shorter and is written for parents and carers, the comprehensive guide goes into more detail and includes advice for schools and educators.

Between them, they cover:

• Chatbots, homework, and children’s learning.

• AI companions, griefbots, and conversational toys.

• Sexual image abuse, including AI-generated child sexual abuse material.

• Impersonation, voice cloning, scams, and bullying.

• Social media feeds, beauty filters, glasses and games.

• Children’s privacy and AI use in schools.

• Wider risks such as changes to work and futures.

Both guides include advice on what to do if something has already happened, practical tips, and most topics also link to a full dedicated article exploring each risk in greater depth.

Please share the guides with parents, schools, or colleagues who would find them useful!

You can find the guides here, and from the main menu options:
