Safe AI for kids
Safe AI for kids is more than filtering bad words.
A safer AI experience for children needs thoughtful product design: age-aware answers, parent visibility, privacy choices, clear escalation, and honest limits about what AI can and cannot do.
Safety starts before the answer
A child-friendly AI product should not wait until something goes wrong. It should think about the child's age, the question being asked, the intent behind it, and whether a grown-up should be involved before the final answer appears.
Yamess uses a green, amber and red safety model. Green questions can be answered normally. Amber questions receive extra caution and may encourage parent involvement. Red questions are restricted and guide the child back to a trusted adult.
Parents need visibility, not surveillance theatre
Parents should be able to understand what their child is exploring without needing to hover over every message. Yamess provides parent summaries and full chat access so families can continue the conversation offline.
That visibility is not about catching children out. It is about helping parents stay close to the learning journey and step in when something needs context.
Privacy is part of safety
The ICO Children's Code sets expectations for online services likely to be accessed by children, including age-appropriate design and high privacy by default. For Yamess, that means collecting only what is needed to operate the service and keeping parents informed about what is stored.
Yamess does not use advertising, sponsored answers or third-party ad tracking. The privacy details live in the Privacy Promise.
No system should pretend to be perfect
AI can make mistakes. It can misunderstand a question, sound confident when it is wrong, or fail to notice context a parent would spot instantly. A responsible child AI product should say that plainly.
Yamess is designed to reduce risk and improve the experience, not to claim that technology removes the need for adult judgement.
