网络安全标准实践指南——人工智能应用安全指引 教育 (TC260-PG-20269A) [Practice Guide for Cybersecurity Standards: Security Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence Applications: Education]

Key Findings

• — Clause 5(e): AI services for minors must use age-appropriate notices and default protective settings, obtain guardian consent, keep minors' AI-assisted learning under guardian or teacher supervision, and provide usage-duration limits, function limits, guardian settings and anomaly alerts
• — Clause 6.2: primary-school pupils should not use open-ended generation alone; platforms must offer duration, frequency and time-of-day management (continuous-use limits, rest intervals, night-time limits) and restrict personalised recommendation, anthropomorphic interaction and paid features, with usage statistics and alerts for teachers or guardians
• — Clause 6.4(c): when input or output involves personal injury, behavioural inducement, psychological manipulation, cyberbullying or other risks to students' physical or mental health, the application must restrict answers, pause the interaction or give safety guidance according to risk level, alert teachers, guardians or the institution, and escalate life-safety risks to competent units
• — Annex A.2 classifies learning platforms with anthropomorphic characters or persistent emotional interaction as an anthropomorphic-interaction scenario and lists overuse, emotional dependence and excessive data collection among its risks
• — Annex A.4(d) limits AI in mental-health education to general knowledge, general emotional support and risk-cue identification with referral to qualified staff; it states AI does not replace professionals for diagnosis, treatment or crisis handling, and names misjudgment, delayed professional intervention, leakage of sensitive psychological data and student emotional dependence as the main risks
• — Clause 6.1: AI answers may not be given to students as final answers, teachers set the timing and frequency of AI involvement, and students must be able to end a session themselves
