1 Importance of Accuracy Over Speed

Never assume AI is always right. Validate facts, history, science, formulas, medical info, and exam answers. AI can be wrong — checking answers makes you smarter.

2 Never Use AI to Cheat

AI should support your understanding, give practice problems, and explain concepts — not do your homework or exams for you. Cheating damages your future; learning helps you grow.

3 Safeguard Your Privacy

Keep private: your phone number, school name, home address, passwords, family details, ID, or sensitive pictures. You never need personal details to study using AI.

4 Recognize Biases in AI

AI may reflect biases from certain countries, languages, or sources. If something feels one-sided, verify it. Critical thinking increases your digital power.

5 Do Not Use AI for Malicious Purposes

Never use AI for harassment, false reports, fake screenshots, image manipulation, impersonation, or humiliation. Using AI unethically or illegally is harmful and unsafe.

6 Safeguarding Your Identity

Use a nickname; never reveal sensitive info. Protect your account. Your digital identity is permanent — defend it.

7 Balance AI with Human Abilities

AI supports your ideas, summaries, and organization — but should not replace your creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, or writing. Your mind is stronger than any tool.

8 Respect Artists’ Rights

Do not use AI to copy artwork, essays, code, writings, or music without permission. Respecting creators is ethical and fair.

9 Use AI as a Learning Resource

Too much AI reduces focus, memory, creativity, and original thinking. Use it with balance — take breaks and rely on your own abilities.

Quality Check

Talk to an adult when confused, especially about disturbing, unsafe, emotional, or strange AI-generated content.
