This study evaluates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in achieving public safety standards in the interior design of school classrooms for children aged 6–8 years. A descriptive–analytical methodology was adopted through the development of a safety checklist derived from educational design standards and relevant literature. The checklist covered materials and finishes, flooring, furniture, window and door openings, circulation paths, emergency exits, and safety signage. The checklist was used to provide ChatGPT with structured safety criteria and design requirements for generating classroom design prompts. These prompts were then employed to create interior design visualizations using DALL·E 3, in addition to images generated directly through ChatGPT.

The resulting designs were evaluated using a five-level risk assessment matrix and safety indicators including slip resistance, anchoring of furniture, treatment of sharp edges, clarity of escape routes, window protection, and age-appropriate signage.

The findings indicate that AI tools can integrate safety requirements into classroom interior design proposals when supported by accurate data and carefully formulated prompts. ChatGPT-generated outputs achieved a more balanced integration between safety considerations and educational functionality, whereas DALL·E 3 outputs emphasized visible safety features at the expense of effective classroom organization. The study concludes that AI tools can support safety-by-design approaches in educational environments while emphasizing the continuing role of human designers in validating compliance with real-world standards and avoiding overreliance on automated outputs.
