Dadspotting / A conversation worth having

The Family AI Checkup.

Your family uses AI. Have you talked about the rules?

Six questions. One family conversation. A practical plan you can start this week.

No names, accounts or children’s details needed. Answers stay in this page and clear when it is reloaded. This is a discussion tool, not a safety certification.

1. Know the tools

We know which AI tools our family uses, and have checked their age requirements.

Make one agreement tonight.

“We will ask before sharing personal information, check important answers, and keep a person in charge of actions.” Adapt it together and choose a time to revisit it.
