Choosing a "Safe" AI

Image
https://youtu.be/gKTH2uW3c-M Choosing an AI tool can feel like walking into a digital candy store where every wrapper says, “Trust me!” But not every AI platform deserves your personal information, your files, or your confidence. In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, we take a plain-English look at how everyday users can choose a safer AI platform without falling for hype, miracle claims, or privacy traps. You’ll learn what to watch for before signing up, what information you should never share, why privacy settings matter, and why “free” is not always as free as it looks. AI can be helpful, impressive, and sometimes downright amazing — but it should be treated like a helpful stranger, not a locked vault. Stay safe, stay curious, and remember — you’re never too old to outsmart a risky AI tool.
