SafeAI is the Foundation’s school program focused on the psychology of AI and the systems built around it. It works with the three groups that play a central role in adolescent life: students, teachers and parents.
The program is developed by the Foundation and delivered in person by the Foundation’s licensed clinical psychologists. Every session is interactive. Students are encouraged to discuss, question and reflect on their own habits rather than simply listen to a presentation. The content is grounded in research, aiming to build understanding and confidence, not fear.
Three tracks are delivered across one school year. Schools can either take part in the full program or select the components that best fit their calendar.
Students learn what AI chatbots are, why they can feel like a friend, where the risks arise, and when it’s important to turn to a real person instead. The same approach also looks at social media feeds and gaming.
Two surveys · Two interactive lectures · One printed handout
Each student session is available in two versions, for ages 12–14 and 15–17, with the language, examples and case discussions adapted to the age group. Every student receives a certificate upon completion.
First Survey
Anonymous, on paper, before the lecture. It measures what your students share and discuss with AI, not only how much they use it. Your school receives its own results.
Lecture
Interactive session. What an AI chatbot is, why it feels like a friend, where the risk sits, and when to turn to a real person instead.
Handout
Distributed at the end of the first lecture. A printed guide that students can take home and keep as a lasting reminder of the key ideas of the lecture.
Second Wave Lecture
Later in the school year. The sessions contain new content, it refreshes the first lecture and extends it into the ground students have covered since.
Second Survey
Run after the second lecture. It measures the shift against the baseline. Your school receives the comparison.
Optional add-on: per class workshops
A smaller room for a more open conversation. Each class explores the harm reaching students through AI, social media and gaming. The smaller group setup gives the quiet students a chance to speak. Two schools can request the workshop this year, with more to follow.
Teachers learn how potential harm can develop, what it may look like in the classroom, which signs may warrant a referral, and how to use AI as a teaching tool without allowing it to take over the learning environment.
One survey · One interactive lecture · Two printed packs
Survey
Anonymous, on paper. It covers AI literacy, awareness of harm, and teachers’ own use of AI. Your school receives a picture of where its teachers stand, set against where its students stand, so the gap between the two is visible before anyone tries to close it.
Lecture
An interactive session, covering how do AI chatbots work, when do they become harmful to children, what are the warning signs and what can teachers do to help their students.
Guide
A one-page guide on using AI effectively in teaching while keeping the teacher at the centre of the classroom.
Sessions
A printed pack handed to teachers at the end of the workshop. Each session runs 15 minutes and is delivered by the teacher to the class across the year. The booklet is built on the peer-reviewed literature and ready to teach with no preparation.
Parents learn how their children may be using AI when adults are not present, which signs at home deserve attention, and practical approaches that can be more effective than simply imposing a ban.
One lecture · One printed guide
Lecture
A practical session covering AI companion risks, how platforms shape user behaviour, warning signs to look out for, and practical ways parents can respond at home. The session can be held in the evening or alongside an existing parents’ meeting.
Handout
Printed handout, distributed at the end of the lecture. Warning signs on one side, what to do about them on the other.
There is no cost to any of our services.
