🧠 What Is Responsible AI Creation?

Responsible AI creation means:

Respecting rules, people, and data

Just because AI can do something does not mean it should.

🌐 What Is Digital Citizenship?

A digital citizen is someone who:

Uses technology respectfully

Behaves responsibly online

Protects personal and others’ information

Thinks before sharing content

Good digital citizens make the internet safer and smarter.

⚖️ Responsibilities of Young AI Creators

As a young AI creator, you should:

✅ Be honest about AI use

✅ Respect originality and creativity

✅ Avoid spreading false or harmful content

✅ Protect privacy and personal data

✅ Use AI for learning, not shortcuts

With creation comes responsibility.

🚫 What NOT to Do with AI

Avoid these behaviors:

❌ Using AI to cheat in school

❌ Copying AI content and claiming it as yours

❌ Sharing private or sensitive information

❌ Using AI to bully, deceive, or harm others

❌ Trusting AI blindly without thinking

AI should support thinking, not replace it.
