These harms could be deliberate or accidental; caused to individuals, groups, organisations, nations or globally; and of many types, including but not limited to physical, psychological, social, or economic harms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result of this growing need, we\u2019re thrilled to announce the latest addition to our AI literacy programme, Experience AI \u2014\u00a0 \u2018AI safety: responsibility, privacy, and security\u2019. Co-developed with Google DeepMind, this comprehensive suite of free resources is designed to empower 11- to 14-year-olds to understand and address the challenges of AI technologies. Whether you\u2019re a teacher, youth leader, or parent, these resources provide everything you need to start the conversation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Linking old and new topics<\/h2>\n<p>AI technologies are providing huge benefits to society, but as they become more prevalent we cannot ignore the challenges AI tools bring with them. Many of the challenges aren\u2019t new, such as concerns over data privacy or misinformation, but AI systems have the potential to amplify these issues.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AISAfetyImage4-1-500x281-1.png\" alt=\"Digital image depicting computer science related elements.\" class=\"wp-image-89325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AISAfetyImage4-1-500x281-1.png 500w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-450x253.png 450w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1-900x506.png 900w, https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AISAfetyImage4-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Our resources use familiar online safety themes \u2014 like data privacy and media literacy \u2014 and apply AI concepts to start the conversation about how AI systems might change the way we approach our digital lives.<\/p>\n<p>Each session explores a specific area:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your data and AI:<\/strong> How data-driven AI systems use data differently to traditional software and why that changes data privacy concerns<\/li>\n<li><strong>Media literacy in the age of AI:<\/strong> The ease of creating believable, AI-generated content and the importance of verifying information<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using AI tools responsibly:<\/strong> Encouraging critical thinking about how AI is marketed and understanding personal and developer responsibilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each topic is designed to engage young people to consider both their own interactions with AI systems and the ethical responsibilities of developers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designed to be flexible<\/h2>\n<p>Our AI safety resources have flexibility and ease of delivery at their core, and each session is built around three key components:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Animations:<\/strong> Each session begins with a concise, engaging video introducing the key AI concept using sound pedagogy \u2014 making it easy to deliver and effective.

They also highlight topics that we feel are important but may not be appropriate for every learner, for example, the rise of inappropriate deepfake images, which you might discuss with a 14-year-old but not an 11-year-old.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A modular approach for all contexts<\/h2>\n<p>Our previous resources have all followed a format suitable for delivery in a classroom, but for these resources, we wanted to widen the potential contexts in which they could be used.

For example:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A teacher might combine the video with an unplugged activity and follow-up discussion for a 60-minute lesson<\/li>\n<li>A club leader could show the video and run a quick activity in a 30-minute session<\/li>\n<li>A parent might watch the video and use the discussion questions during dinner to explore how generative AI shapes the content their children encounter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of AI safety education<\/h2>\n<p>With AI becoming a larger part of daily life, young people need the tools to think critically about its use. From understanding how their data is used to spotting misinformation, these resources are designed to build confidence and critical thinking in an AI-powered world.<\/p>\n<p>AI safety is about empowering young people to be informed consumers of AI tools. By using these resources, you\u2019ll help the next generation not only navigate AI, but shape its future. Dive into our materials, start a conversation, and inspire young minds to think critically about the role of AI in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get started?
