About AI-OK?
A curated, no-nonsense guide for working parents who want to keep their kids safe with AI, and help them use it well.
Our mission
Busy parents shouldn't need a computer science degree to answer “Is this OK for my kid?” AI-OK? turns research from pediatricians, psychologists and child-safety experts into five-minute guidance by age.
We are co-learners, not experts on your family. This idea comes from Harvard's Ying Xu, interviewed by UNICEF USA[1]. You know your child best.
The American Psychological Association[2] has called for easy-to-use resources that help parents understand AI's risks and benefits without extensive research. That's exactly what we're building.
Our promises
- We never collect information about children.
- No ads, no tracking cookies, no paid placements.
- We show who funds the groups we list.
- Every page names its sources and ends with References.
- We cover the good uses of AI, not just the scary stuff.
Editorial standards
- We name sources in the text and link to the exact page.
- We write in our own words. We summarize; we don't copy. Short quotes are in quotation marks with the source named.
- Every page ends with References in a consistent format: Organization. (Date). Title. URL. Date accessed.
- Adapted lists say “Adapted from [source].”
- We link to games and tools instead of copying them, and use only images we own or are licensed to use.
- We review links every quarter and update or replace anything out of date.
How we rate sources
Research Peer-reviewed studies and university or think-tank research.
Expert org Established medical, psychology and child-safety organizations.
News Reputable news outlets and official government notices.
Parent-tested Real experiences from parents, clearly labeled as experience, not evidence.
We avoid using a company's own press release as the only source, and we flag early or small studies.
Not professional advice
AI-OK? offers general educational information. It isn't medical, mental-health or legal advice. For concerns about your child, talk with your pediatrician, a counselor or the right authorities.
