We’re sharing two new AI literacy resources to help families use ChatGPT thoughtfully, safely, and confidently. First is a family-friendly guide that explains—in plain language—how AI models are trained, why AI can sometimes get things wrong, and the importance of double checking the information received. It also includes practical tips for responsible use, like how to write better prompts, why you might get different answers to the same question, and how to manage your data and settings.

We’re also publishing a set of tips for parents, with conversation starters and practical guidance to help parents talk with their teens about what AI can (and can’t) do, build critical thinking, set healthy boundaries, and navigate emotional or sensitive topics.

Both resources were developed with expert input, including members of our Expert Council on Well-Being and AI⁠ and ConnectSafely⁠(opens in a new window), groups with deep expertise in online safety, human-computer interaction, teen development, and mental health. We’ll continue expanding our AI literacy work over time with additional guidance for different ages and stages, and we’ll keep updating these resources as we learn more.
