Using AI safely

The AI helper is a computer program, not a person. It runs on Claude, made by a company called Anthropic.

It helps you learn. It asks questions, gives hints and shows examples. You do the work.

It’s only in classes where your teacher said yes. A parent has to say yes too, unless you’re 18 or older.

• Give you the answer to a question your teacher assigned.
• Write your essay, paragraph or worksheet.
• Help with a quiz or test itself. It can help you practise the topic.
• Talk to your teacher or your parents about what you asked.

It can be wrong. If something looks off, check it in your notes or ask your teacher.

• Don’t type your full name, address, phone number or passwords.
• Don’t type other people’s names or private details.
• Don’t send photos of yourself or anyone else.

If you use the AI helper, your parents see how many times each week. They never see your chats. A person on our safety team reads a chat only in three cases:

• You tap Report this chat.
• Our safety check flags it.
• You say we can look, to fix a problem.

Your teacher’s rules come first. If you’re not sure you can use AI help on a piece of work, ask your teacher before you start.

In each session, tap Make a note for my teacher. Copy the note into your work, or show it to your teacher.

Saying that you used AI help is part of using it well.
