60-minute family activity

  1. Go to teachablemachine.withgoogle.com. No signup required.
  2. Create two categories: Safe AI response and Risky AI response.
  3. Together, collect 25 to 30 example screenshots or typed responses from family-friendly chatbots and ones that give bad advice.
  4. Train the model. Test it live with new examples. Use GPT-5.5 to explain why the model got one wrong.
  5. Turn it into a family game: whoever spots the risky response first wins.

GPT-5.5 troubleshooting prompt

I am training an AI to tell apart safe and risky chatbot answers. When I show it [EXAMPLE], it thinks it is [WRONG CATEGORY]. Why might my AI be confused? What could I change about the training examples?

The core lesson

AI is only as good as the data it sees. Bias is real and fixable. Your child learns critical thinking about technology that will matter for the rest of their life.
