Dubai Launches GenDubAI to Help Parents Navigate Artificial Intelligence
To help bridge the gap between children’s tech habits and parental oversight, the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence has introduced a new bilingual platform called GenDubAI. Aimed at families with children aged 8 to 15, the initiative provides practical, step-by-step guidance on managing common AI-related challenges. Whether your child is using AI for homework, seeking emotional support from chatbots, or engaging with synthetic imagery, the platform offers specific conversation starters and safety strategies to ensure technology is used responsibly and creatively at home.
The platform is designed to be highly accessible and user-friendly, offering tailored pathways for parents whether they want to learn the fundamentals of AI safety or need immediate advice on handling complex situations. For instance, instead of prohibiting AI use, the guide encourages parents to foster open communication—especially when children treat chatbots as confidants—and provides clear steps for addressing the ethical implications of fake images. By focusing on "family moments" rather than rigid restrictions, GenDubAI serves as a valuable resource to help parents guide their children through the evolving digital landscape with confidence and empathy.
