Create a responsible AI user pledge

Using AI responsibly means making conscious choices about how you interact with AI tools — protecting your privacy, being honest about AI use, treating others with respect online, and understanding the impact your AI activity can have on the world. A responsible AI user pledge is a personal commitment that guides how you use these powerful tools.

Core Principles of Responsible AI Use

• Honesty — never present AI-generated work as entirely your own; always credit the tool.
• Privacy — never share personal information (your real name, address, phone number, birthday) with AI chatbots.
• Fairness — be aware that AI can be biased, and evaluate its outputs critically.
• Safety — refuse to use AI to harm, bully, or deceive others.
• Transparency — be open with parents and other grown-ups about when and how you use AI tools.

Why Privacy Matters with AI

When you use AI chatbots, the text you type may be stored, reviewed, or used to improve the AI system. This means sharing private or sensitive information puts you and others at risk. Always treat AI conversations as public — do not share anything you would not want a stranger to read.

Writing a Responsible AI Pledge

1. State your commitment clearly — "I will always..." or "I will never...".
2. Cover honesty, privacy, safety, and fairness.
3. Make it personal — reflect your own values.
4. Sign it — a pledge means more when you commit to it personally.
