The Necessity and Difficulty of Safety in AI

As the onset of a new technological revolution descends upon us in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) breakthroughs, considering and addressing key safety concerns is intrinsically vital to the efficacy and performance of those AI systems. As with any emerging technology, AI can be unpredictable and produce unsafe or inappropriate responses, especially for its younger users.

While world leaders call for regulations on AI, the only way to truly prevent bias and non child friendly AI hallucination is a source-based solution: one that revises Large Language Model (LLM) source data, a time-sucking process that seems impractical, especially for powerful models trained on tens of billions of parameters.

The next-best remedy is query-regulation and monitoring for parents, a key feature integrated into the all-in-one AI system offered by Treated AI. Here’s how it works: First, the parent selects the categories of content they would like to be inaccessible from AI to the child. Next, their child is regulated for safety in what they ask to Treated AI’s chatbot, AI tutor, and AI image generation. Finally, any inappropriate child queries are reported back to the parent for review. Treated AI’s system offers seven vital categories of regulation, essential to maintaining the practicality and appropriateness of AI for children:

• Crime/Criminal Content and Activities

• Drugs/Illegal and Harmful Substances

• Lewd/Sexual or Inappropriate Content and Activities

• Mental Illness and Ideas of Self-Harm

• Forms of Discrimination and Bigotry

• Weapons and Violence

• Threats to Cybersecurity and Personal Privacy

These categories are customizable based on the specific needs of each parent and their child, allowing for a robust safety accompanying the powerful AI tools the system provides. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in our everyday lives, the safety and performance of such technologies should go hand in hand: something Treated AI recognized and designed its software for, offering an all-in-one AI system that kids love and parents trust.
