When Kids Talk to AI: What Parents Need to Know (and Do) About Chatbots
Advertisement
How teens really use AI chatbots, the risks around trust and privacy, and practical steps parents can take to keep young people safe online.
About this Event

Children and teens are increasingly using AI chatbots — not just for homework, but for advice and emotional support. But how safe are these tools?

Join Stacey Kelly‑Maher, a specialist in tech safety and technology‑facilitated abuse, for a clear, practical talk on how young people use chatbots, the risks around trust, privacy and emotional reliance, and what’s changing across major platforms.

Designed for parents, carers and educators, this session offers practical guidance — no technical knowledge required.
