The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) last week launched an AI resource referral tool to help parents protect their kids online.
In the digital age, even the most fastidious parents may struggle to protect their kids from online addiction and predation. On May 14, NCOSE unveiled a new AI chatbot designed to help overwhelmed parents find the resources and information they need, when they need it.
Unlike other chatbots, which can cause kids irreparable harm, NCOSE says its special tool is designed to direct parents to vetted resources from trusted partners — including the Daily Citizen and Focus on the Family.
The bot offers step by step assistance and resources to parents in all kinds of situations, from those seeking to put boundaries on personal tech to those who discover their child is caught in a sextortion scam.
The new AI tool powers NCOSE’s Parent Center, which Director Layne Shill describes as a place for parents to grow more informed about raising kids in the digital age.
“Current tech solutions like parental controls are hard to keep up with, inconsistent and often hard to understand,” Shill wrote in a press release.
“The Parent Center is designed to give parents simple, practical and helpful information to meet parents where they are and guide them toward trusted resources.”
“Trusted” being the key word. With NCOSE’s tools, Shill noted, parents don’t have to rely on resources provided by tech companies with no incentive to protect children.
“While Big Tech offers AI assistance tools, they are unregulated and can provide misleading information,” she wrote.
“NCOSE’s Parent Center AI tool draws on reliable sources and was created by parents, for parents.”
The Parent Center also offers practical ways moms and dads can support legislative changes enabling them to better protect their kids online.
“We believe parents and caregivers can change the world,” the platform reads. “Together, we’re building a movement to make children’s online safety a national priority.”
The Daily Citizen and Focus on the Family believe parents should prioritize their children’s online safety. We are proud to contribute resources to NCOSE’s new AI tool for parents.
The Daily Citizen team works hard to cover social and political issues affecting families, including those affecting children’s safety online.
