Robot and AI ethics — Robotics for kids

Robots and AI are tools, and people are responsible for how they are made and used. Responsible robots are tested for safety and have an emergency stop. They ask before taking photos, keep recordings private and say clearly when you are talking to a bot. AI answers can be wrong, so we check them and never copy AI work as our own. Recording people secretly, sharing their photos without asking or taking off a safety guard is never right.

Robot tip

Safe, honest, private, fair — “robots and AI should help people, keep them safe, be honest and protect their data”

  1. Safe: test robots, add an emergency stop, never take off a safety guard.
  2. Honest: say when it is a bot; check AI answers; do your own work.
  3. Private and fair: ask before photos, keep data private, design for all people; people stay in charge.

Use it for: Using AI tools for school, setting up a home robot or camera with a parent, and value education lessons.

Worked example: 🛡️ Responsible or not: to record people secretly? → not responsible

  1. Recording people without telling them takes away their privacy.
  2. So it is not responsible.

Check: Asking before taking photos is the responsible way ✓
