The Transparency Coalition has officially unveiled the “Parents Playbook for AI,” an innovative resource designed to empower families in understanding the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its impact on children. Launched on January 14, 2026, in Seattle, this educational tool addresses the growing importance of AI in everyday life—a field that has advanced significantly since generative AI tools became publicly accessible three years ago.
As families confront a world where AI can provide instant answers yet occasionally disseminate misinformation, and where chatbot companions promise endless interaction for kids, navigating this technology is increasingly complex. The “Parents Playbook for AI” serves as a navigational guide, offering clear explanations, practical advice, and essential information geared towards helping families make well-informed choices regarding AI technologies.
Key features of the resource include:
– Understanding how AI systems function
– Identifying where children are likely to encounter AI apps
– Evaluating the implications of AI chatbots on children’s lives
– Learning strategies to protect kids from deepfakes
– Navigating data privacy concerns related to AI
– Staying informed about evolving AI policies at both state and federal levels
“Parents are facing the challenge of navigating AI with minimal guidance,” stated Rob Eleveld, co-founder and CEO of the Transparency Coalition. “The Parents Playbook for AI aims to equip families with the knowledge to ask pertinent questions, advocate for their children, and engage confidently with transformative technologies.”
The “Parents Playbook for AI” is now accessible at parentsplaybook.ai, providing an essential resource for families keen to stay ahead in the age of AI. This initiative is part of the Transparency Coalition’s broader mission to educate the public and policymakers about the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence.
