Would you do a short session on helping children use AI safely?

Question for parents about AI at home
I’m thinking through a free, practical, non-technical course to help parents and children use AI more safely and confidently at home.

Not a sales pitch — I’m trying to understand what would actually fit real family life.
It would cover things like:
• what AI can and can’t do
• how children might use it for homework, creativity, or chatting
• what the risks are
• how parents can stay involved without needing to be technical
• simple household rules that actually work

My question is: how much time would you realistically give to something like this?
Would you prefer:
• one short 20–30 minute session
• two or three short sessions
• a longer session if it was genuinely useful
• short self-paced bits you can dip in and out of
• or honestly, would you probably not make time for it unless there was a specific problem?

I’d really value honest answers from parents. I’m trying to design something useful rather than something that sounds good on paper but doesn’t fit family life.

No, because I don’t want my children using AI. I think this should be taught in schools as part of computer science so maybe worth engaging with educational policy makers. But no wouldn’t be something I’d be interested in doing personally. I think it would just pique interest in using more AI.

That’s really helpful, thank you.

I completely understand that concern. One of the things I’m trying to think through is exactly that distinction — not encouraging children to use AI more, but helping parents understand what it is, where children may encounter it anyway, and what boundaries might be sensible at home.

Your point about schools and policy makers is a useful one too. Thank you.
