Could the AI system expose children to harmful, inappropriate, or unsafe content or interactions?
  • If children are potential users or exposed to your AI system, it is essential to ensure that the system respects the rights and best interests of the child.
  • This includes considering child protection, ethical communication, and designing the system to avoid harm or exploitation.
  • Inappropriate design or oversight could lead to risks to children’s mental, moral, or physical well-being, including potential misuse of the system by others to harm children.

If you answered Yes then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

  • Assess whether an age verification mechanism and access control are necessary to prevent underage exposure to inappropriate, unsafe, or high-risk content.
  • Adapt communication and design in both the product and associated documentation, such as the privacy policy, to be child-appropriate and transparent.
  • Develop and enforce policies to ensure the safety and well-being of children when using or being exposed to your AI system.
  • Establish procedures to regularly assess and monitor the usage of your product to identify and mitigate any risks to children’s safety and health.
  • Provide clear labeling and instructions to ensure safe usage by children, including warnings about potential misuse.
  • Monitor for and address inappropriate or harmful usage of the AI system, including any attempts to exploit or harm children.
  • Develop a responsible marketing and advertising policy that explicitly avoids harmful, manipulative, or unethical practices targeting children.
