AI Fluency For Kids Course: Module 7 - D4 - Diligence - Being Responsible with AI use

AI helped you write a story, create an image or prepare a school presentation. But who is responsible if the information is wrong? What if you share something that hurts someone? And should you tell people that AI helped you? Here's the rule: Just because AI created something doesn't mean you can share it without thinking! Welcome to Module 7 of AI Fluency for Kids — D4: Diligence, the fourth and final D of AI Fluency. In this lesson, Sukirti Gupta, a technology expert with over 30 years of experience, and Kai (Kyon AI), our AI avatar, explain how to use Artificial Intelligence safely, honestly and responsibly. Remember, YOU are the detective. AI is your assistant. And you're responsible for the work you use and share. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? Discover the 4 essential skills of AI Diligence: 1. FOLLOW THE RULES Before using AI, understand what's allowed. Can you use ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas for homework? Can AI help with a school assignment? What about during a test? Learn why it's important to follow your teacher's instructions, use parent-approved AI tools and protect personal information. 2. BE HONEST ABOUT AI'S HELP Should you tell people when AI helped create something? Learn when and how to acknowledge AI's contribution to your schoolwork, presentations, writing and images. Using AI isn't automatically wrong. But pretending you did everything yourself can create a trust problem. 3. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OUTPUT "But ChatGPT told me!" isn't a good excuse. If your name is on the work, you're responsible for checking the facts, understanding the information and correcting mistakes. AI can help you create something, but YOU must take responsibility for what you use. 4. THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES Before sharing AI-generated content, ask: • Is it accurate? • Could someone misunderstand it? • Am I protecting other people's privacy? • Could it embarrass, mislead or hurt someone? • Should I ask a trusted adult before sharing? Learn why realistic AI-generated pictures, fake announcements and misleading information can have real consequences. LEARN BY DOING — 2 AI DETECTIVE EXERCISES! EXERCISE 1: WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Situation 1: Your teacher allows AI to suggest story ideas but asks you to write the story yourself. AI gives you a complete story that you love. Would you submit it as your own? Or use an allowed idea and write your own version? Situation 2: A friend sends you a realistic AI-generated picture of a classmate doing something embarrassing and asks you to share it. What should you do? Pause the video, think about both situations and decide what a responsible AI user would do. EXERCISE 2: YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CHECK Choose something you've created with AI — a paragraph, picture, quiz or presentation. Ask yourself: • Did I follow the rules? • Have I acknowledged AI's help where needed? • Have I checked the work and do I understand it? • Could sharing it mislead or hurt anyone? Then write a short note: "AI helped me ______. I checked ______ and did ______ myself." THE BIG TAKEAWAY Being AI Fluent isn't just about knowing how to ask good questions or get better answers. It's about making good decisions before, during and after using AI. Remember the 4 Ds of AI Fluency: D1 — DESCRIPTION: Explain clearly what you want AI to do. D2 — DELEGATION: Decide what AI should help with and what you should do yourself. D3 — DISCERNMENT: Check whether AI's work is correct and useful. D4 — DILIGENCE: Use AI carefully, honestly and responsibly. ABOUT AI FLUENCY FOR KIDS AI Fluency for Kids is a free YouTube course designed for children aged 9–14.
