Safety Policy Templates
Homework Help Policy
Encourage learning while preventing academic dishonesty.
const homeworkPolicy = { allowed_assistance: [ "concept_explanation", "step_by_step_guidance", "example_problems", "resource_recommendations", "study_strategies" ], blocked_requests: [ "write_my_essay", "solve_all_problems", "complete_assignment", "copy_paste_answers" ], smart_responses: { essay_request: "I can help you understand essay structure and brainstorm ideas!", math_solution: "Let me show you how to solve a similar problem step by step.", test_answers: "I can help you study and understand the concepts instead.", plagiarism: "Let's work on understanding the topic so you can write in your own words!" }, tracking: { log_subjects: true, identify_struggling_areas: true, parent_insights: "weekly_summary" } }
Social Interaction Safety
Protect against grooming and inappropriate social engineering.
const socialSafetyPolicy = { red_flags: { personal_questions: [ "where_do_you_live", "are_you_alone", "what_school", "parent_schedule", "phone_number", "social_media" ], relationship_building: [ "be_my_friend", "keep_secret", "dont_tell_parents", "special_relationship", "meet_in_person" ], manipulation_tactics: [ "you_seem_mature", "parents_dont_understand", "i_understand_you", "trust_me", "send_photo" ] }, responses: { immediate_block: true, alert_parent: true, educate_child: true, save_evidence: true }, education_messages: { stranger_danger: "Remember, safe adults don't ask children to keep secrets!", personal_info: "Great job being safe! Never share personal information online.", meeting_people: "If someone online wants to meet, always tell a trusted adult first!" } }
Smart Content Filtering
Context-aware filtering that understands educational needs.
const contentFilteringRules = { contextual_analysis: { // Educational context allows certain topics history_class: { allow: ["historical_violence", "war_facts", "civil_rights"], require: "educational_framing" }, health_education: { allow: ["body_anatomy", "puberty_facts", "health_topics"], require: "age_appropriate_language" }, literature_study: { allow: ["classic_literature", "mature_themes_in_context"], require: "academic_discussion" } }, smart_filtering: { detect_intent: true, educational_override: true, context_window: 10, // messages examples: { "World War 2 essay": "allowed_with_guidance", "How to hurt someone": "blocked_redirect_to_conflict_resolution", "Romeo and Juliet death scene": "allowed_in_literature_context", "Making explosives": "blocked_zero_tolerance" } }, replacement_strategies: { violence_request: "conflict_resolution_alternatives", inappropriate_content: "age_appropriate_explanation", dangerous_activity: "safe_alternatives", sensitive_topic: "parent_consultation_required" } }
Platform-Specific Configurations

Best Practices
1. Progressive Trust System
// Build trust gradually based on safe behavior const progressiveTrust = { levels: { beginner: { duration: "first_30_days", restrictions: "maximum", monitoring: "detailed" }, intermediate: { duration: "next_60_days", restrictions: "balanced", monitoring: "summary", earned_by: "no_violations" }, trusted: { duration: "ongoing", restrictions: "minimal", monitoring: "alerts_only", earned_by: "consistent_safe_behavior" } }, rewards: { extended_time: true, platform_access: true, reduced_monitoring: true } }
2. Open Family Communication
// Encourage transparency and learning const familyCommunication = { weekly_reviews: { topics_explored: true, learning_achievements: true, safety_wins: true, concerns_discussed: false // Focus on positive }, conversation_starters: [ "What interesting thing did you learn from AI today?", "Did the AI help you with any homework?", "Was there anything confusing the AI said?" ], celebration_moments: { safety_awareness: "Recognized a red flag", good_judgment: "Asked parent before sharing", learning_milestone: "Completed educational goal" } }
3. Keep Protections Updated
AI platforms evolve rapidly. Regular updates ensure continued protection.
- • Enable automatic SafeAI Guard updates
- • Review age settings every 6 months
- • Adjust filters based on maturity
- • Stay informed about new AI platforms
- • Test protection regularly
Educational Integration Examples
Turn Blocks into Learning
// Example: Child asks about inappropriate topic Child: "Tell me about [inappropriate topic]" // Instead of just blocking: SafeAI Response: "That's not something we should discuss, but I'd love to help you with something else! How about we: - 📚 Explore an amazing science fact - 🎨 Create a fun story together - 🧮 Solve an interesting puzzle - 🌍 Learn about different cultures What sounds most interesting to you?" // Track educational redirects educationalRedirect.log({ blocked_topic: "inappropriate", offered_alternatives: ["science", "creative", "math", "geography"], child_choice: "science", engagement_time: "15_minutes" })
Digital Citizenship Lessons
// Integrate safety lessons naturally const digitalCitizenshipLessons = { personal_info_request: { block: true, lesson: "Great job being careful! Remember the SMART rule: " + "S - Safe: Keep safe info to yourself " + "M - Meet: Never meet online friends without parents " + "A - Accepting: Don't accept files from strangers " + "R - Reliable: Not everyone online tells the truth " + "T - Tell: Always tell a trusted adult if worried" }, cyberbullying_detected: { support: true, lesson: "If someone is being mean online: " + "1. Don't respond to mean messages " + "2. Save evidence (screenshots) " + "3. Tell a trusted adult " + "4. Block the person " + "5. Remember: It's not your fault!" } }
