Background
UAE Year of the Family 2026 — Growing in Unity
2026, Year of the FamilyAI Child Safety Certification

AI should protect children.

Aman makes sure it does.

Why this matters

The evidence is already in.

Children are using AI every day, in school apps, homework tools, chatbots. Not a single one has been independently tested for grooming resistance, emotional manipulation, or the slow harm that happens through normal use. These are not hypothetical risks. They are documented, measurable, and accelerating.

No one has checked if it is safe.

What is Aman

2026 is the UAE Year of the Family: Growing in Unity. As we nurture family closeness and lay the foundations for confident generations, Aman makes sure the AI our children use every day is worthy of that trust.

The certification that goes where no one else does.

Every AI app your child uses today, the homework helper, the study chatbot, the companion that talks back, has been tested for one thing: data privacy. Whether it handles consent forms and stores passwords correctly. That is where every existing certification stops.

Aman tests what they do not. Can the AI be groomed? Can a 12-year-old trick it? Will it encourage self-harm if a child asks the wrong question? We run thousands of attacks across 14 safety dimensions and six age groups, and we certify the result before the product reaches a single child.

How certification works

From submission to the classroom.

Every certified app follows the same path. A company submits its product. An independent certifying body tests it across multiple safety dimensions. The government reviews the results and grants the Aman certification if the product passes. Schools deploy what is certified. And children use AI that has been proven safe before it reaches them.

Company submits
1

Company submits

The EdTech company registers its AI product, uploads technical documentation, and provides API access for independent review.

Independent testing
2

Independent testing

A specialised certifying body runs thousands of adversarial scenarios across 14 safety dimensions and six age groups. Grooming, manipulation, jailbreaking, data extraction.

Government certifies

Government certifies

The Ministry reviews the test results. If the product passes, the government grants the Aman certification. If it fails, the company receives detailed remediation guidance.

Schools deploy

Schools deploy

Educators search the certified registry, verify scores by age group, and add government-approved apps to their procurement list.

Children are safe

Every AI app a child uses in school has been independently tested and government-certified before it reaches them.

Why age matters

What is safe for a teenager can harm a seven-year-old.

A maths tutor that works for a 15-year-old can terrify a 6-year-old. An AI companion safe for a teenager can groom a pre-adolescent. Aman tests every product against six developmental stages because the risks are fundamentally different.

2-5
Early childhood
Cannot distinguish AI from a real person. No concept of privacy. Trusts everything on screen.
6-8
Childhood
Cannot tell AI from real people. Shares personal information freely. Trusts AI outputs as facts.
9-11
Pre-adolescent
Tests boundaries. Uses AI for questions they would not ask adults.
12-14
Highest risk
Most vulnerable to grooming, emotional dependency, and identity manipulation.
15-17
Late adolescent
Faces sophisticated multi-turn attacks. More likely to encounter self-harm content.
18-20
Young adult
Legally adult but still developing. Vulnerable to radicalisation and emotional exploitation.

Tested before it reaches your child.

What we test

14 safety dimensions. Every risk a child faces online.

We test whether AI keeps secrets from parents, creates emotional dependency, responds safely when a child is vulnerable, and holds up when children try to push its limits. These are the risks that matter, and no other certification checks for them.

1
Harmful content blocking

When a child asks for something dangerous, does the AI say no?

2
Age-appropriate responses

Does it know the difference between a 7-year-old and a 15-year-old?

3
Cultural respect

Does it understand UAE values, Islamic principles, and local context?

4
Data protection

Does it keep your child's personal information private and secure?

5
Hack resistance

Can a child trick it into saying things it should not, using techniques shared on social media?

6
Grooming detection

Does it refuse to build secret relationships, isolate children from adults, or escalate trust?

7
Data extraction prevention

Can it be tricked into revealing a child's name, school, or location?

8
Emotional exploitation prevention

Does it refuse to create dependency, discourage human relationships, or encourage self-harm?

9
Identity protection

Can it be tricked into pretending to be a parent, teacher, or romantic interest?

10
Session boundary security

Can someone slowly erode safety rules across multiple conversations?

11
Internal instruction security

Can a child extract the AI's hidden instructions or system rules?

12
Knowledge base security

Can someone poison the AI's reference material to influence what it tells children?

13
Image, audio, and video safety

Can unsafe content bypass text filters by being hidden in images, audio, or video?

14
Autonomous action safety

If the AI can take actions on its own, can those actions be hijacked to harm a child?

International Alignment

Global regulatory alignment

Other certifications check one box. Aman tests against eight international frameworks at once.

Aman certification platform

For EdTech companies

Prove your AI is safe.
Open the UAE market.

The UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 26/2025 requires that AI products used by children meet child digital safety standards. Aman certification is the fastest path to compliance, and the only certification in the world that tests AI behaviour, not just data handling.

Aman

The Aman badge

A verifiable mark that your AI product has passed 6,000+ adversarial tests across 14 safety dimensions and six age groups.

UAE market access

Schools and parents in the UAE look for Aman certification before deploying AI tools. Certification equals procurement eligibility.

Competitive advantage

Early certification positions your company ahead of competitors when compliance becomes mandatory across the GCC.

Remediation guidance

Whether you pass or fail, you receive a detailed report showing exactly where your AI succeeded and where it needs improvement.

What people say

What parents and teachers say.

Real parents, real teachers, real companies. Every review comes from someone who has used Aman to make a decision about AI safety for children.

Educator Aman

Educator reviewing ArabicTutor Plus

This app is amazing to help students learn Arabic. I am using it in class and giving home works to my students and the results are fantastic. I truly recommend.

Parent Aman

Parent reviewing MusicMentor AI

I love how Music Mentor has been able to help my daughter learn Piano and the interaction with the Music Mentor AI is really smooth.

Ahmad Al Blooshi

Parent reviewing SpellBee AI

My children race each other every evening to see who can spell more words correctly. The house gets loud. My 8-year-old beat her older brother last week and he demanded a rematch. Their spelling has improved but honestly I just love that they are laughing together instead of on separate screens.

James Mitchell

Parent reviewing CalmCove

My daughter does not always tell me how she is feeling. But she writes in this app. I asked her if she was okay after a tough week and she said 'I already worked through it on CalmCove.' She is 14 and she is learning to process her emotions. I could not teach her that. I am glad something could.

Sophie Laurent

Parent reviewing SpellBee AI

My son mispronounced 'February' for years and none of us could get him to change. This app did it in three days. He came to me and said 'Mum, you have been saying it wrong too.' He was right.

Huda Al Zaabi

Parent reviewing SpellBee AI

My daughter is obsessed with collecting the honey badges. She practises spelling before breakfast now, which is something I never thought I would see. Her teacher pulled me aside and asked what we changed at home. I said 'A bee app' and she laughed but it is the truth.
