AI safety
AI drafts. Educators approve.
Kairos uses AI to reduce documentation pressure on educators — never to replace educator judgement, and never to publish on its own. This page sets out, in plain language, the rules we are building the platform around.
Principles
AI drafts. Educators approve.
AI offers a first draft of an observation or learning story. An educator reviews, edits, and approves before anything is shared with a family.
AI does not replace educator judgement
The educator’s voice, knowledge of the child, and professional judgement remain the source of truth for every published story.
AI outputs are not automatically published
There is no auto-publish path from an AI draft to a parent. A human always sits between the model and the family.
AI is not a safeguarding, medical, psychological, or legal authority
Sensitive concerns must be handled by qualified staff and existing centre policies. Kairos AI does not assess, diagnose, or counsel.
Child-facing content is reviewed before sharing
Anything that will be shared with a child or about a child is reviewed by an authorised educator before it is sent.
AI can be turned off
Centres can disable AI assistance for a room or for the whole centre. Kairos works without AI, just with more typing.
In practice
What this looks like inside the product.
The draft step is visible
When AI prepares a draft, the educator sees it clearly marked as a draft and can edit it freely before publishing.
The educator’s voice carries
AI is tuned to sound like the educator and the centre — not like a chatbot. We will keep iterating on this with our pilot educators.
Sensitive topics are routed to humans
For safeguarding concerns, medical questions, or psychological issues, the platform does not provide AI guidance. These belong with qualified staff and existing centre processes.
We plan for mistakes
Like all AI, the model can produce drafts that are inaccurate or mismatched. The required educator review is the deliberate guard against publishing those drafts.
Honest AI for early childhood.
We would rather build slowly and ethically than ship features that overpromise. If that resonates with your centre, we would love to talk.
