Chatty's Rulebook

What would a good chatbot for children do?

Links: DC, DL

The signature activity

Teams write the rules a children's chatbot must follow: say when unsure, never pretend to be a friend, point to trusted adults, protect privacy. Then they test each other's rules with tricky messages.

Learning intentions

  • I can use what I know about chatbots to write rules for a children's chatbot.
  • I can explain why each rule matters.
  • I can test a rulebook with tricky messages.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
