Give your parents real answers about AI.

Kids are using AI at school and at home, often before the adults around them have had a chance to learn how it works.

A one-hour seminar for your school or parent group: how AI works, where it goes wrong, how to use it well, and how to talk with kids about it. Every family leaves with a take-home guide.

Take-home

A guide for every family, with questions to start the conversation at home.

Most parents are a step behind on AI. Their kids aren't waiting.

AI showed up in kids' lives before anyone explained it to the adults around them. Chatbots built for grown-ups are a tap away on every phone and school laptop, and nobody handed parents a manual.

AI is already part of growing up.

Have used AI (ages 9 to 17) 86%
Rode a bike in the past year (ages 3 to 17) 56%
Played on a sports team or took lessons (ages 6 to 17) 55%

Figures come from three separate national surveys with different age ranges, shown together for scale.

What parents are feeling

Behind, and not sure what to say.

Kids use AI for homework, for questions, and for company. Most parents have never been shown how it works, so it's hard to know what to worry about, let alone what to say.

What's missing

The conversation isn't happening.

Parents care. What they haven't had is a plain-language explanation and a way to start the talk. So in a lot of families, it never starts.

The false choice

Ban it or ignore it.

A ban just moves it to a friend's phone. Ignoring it leaves kids alone with a tool that makes things up and sounds sure. Neither one teaches a kid to use AI well.

Parents shouldn't have to learn AI from their kids.

"We get it. AI showed up in our kids' lives faster than any of us could keep up. I'm a parent, and I started RAILE out of concern about kids using general-purpose AI tools with no guardrails. I teach data science for a living, and this hour is the plain-language explanation I wish every parent had been given."

A parent, not a vendorRAILE was started by a parent, out of concern about kids using AI tools built for adults. This is the hour he wanted every parent to get.
A career in keeping people safe onlineBefore RAILE, Jake spent his career in fraud prevention and identity verification, keeping people safe from bad actors online. The "where it goes wrong" part of the hour comes from that work.
AI literacy for kids and the adults around themRAILE runs seminars for parents, teachers, and students, a teacher-led classroom curriculum that's in classrooms this fall, and RAILE Chat, a safe place for kids to practice using AI.

And when you email RAILE, Jake answers. Every seminar is planned with him, not a sales team.

An article most parents never open. The ones who do still have questions, and nobody to ask.

RAILE Parent Seminar

One hour in plain language, real answers to parents' own questions, and a guide every family takes home. Led by a parent who teaches this for a living.

Leave it to each family

Every parent on their own, piecing it together from headlines and whatever their kids tell them.

Let's address the fear directly.

"Do parents need a tech background?" No. Everything is in plain language. If you've ever helped with homework, you can follow it.
"Is this a pitch for RAILE?" No. The hour is about the AI kids already use, whatever the app: how it works, where it goes wrong, how to use it well, and how to talk about it at home. Families leave with something useful whether or not they ever use RAILE.
"How long does it take?" One hour: a 40-minute presentation and 20 minutes of open Q&A. It fits a parent night or a PTA meeting agenda.
"What do families take home?" A PDF guide with questions to start the conversation at home and a starting point for family ground rules.
"Where does it happen?" Wherever works for your group. You pick the date and the location.

Four things every parent should know about the AI their kids use.

Clear, practical answers about the AI kids already use, with time for the questions parents actually have.

How AI works

What a chatbot is actually doing when it answers, explained in plain language.

Where it goes wrong

Made-up facts, confident mistakes, and content not meant for kids, and how to spot them.

How to use it well

Habits that make AI a tool for learning instead of a shortcut around it.

How to talk to kids about AI

Questions that start the conversation and ground rules that fit each family.

to parents who understand it, know what to watch for, and know how to start the conversation at home.

The pride part

A parent night families talk about afterward.
A real answer when parents ask what to do about AI.

The first talk about AI shouldn't come after something goes wrong.

The risk

A chatbot makes up a homework answer and sounds sure. A kid finds content that wasn't meant for them. Tweens and teens already spend about an hour a day on AI apps, and without a talk at home, they set the rules themselves.

The fix

Book a seminar for your next parent night or PTA meeting. One hour, and every family goes home with the guide.
