Deep Fakes and AI - Keeping our Kids Safe

In early 2024, Taylor Swift, world-renowned pop star woke to find pornographic images of her plastered across the internet - no, it wasn’t a cybersecurity ‘leak’ from an era long gone, but rather a ‘deep fake’ - a computer generated (with the help of AI) series of images made to look like her.

Despite her fame and fortune, it still took over 48 hours for most of the images to be taken down, and of course, there are probably still countless copies out there.

We have created a 101-style webinar for kaiako (teachers) of kids aged from pre-teens up. We’ll take you through what AI Deep Fake basics are and then give you some practical techniques on how to take this tricky topic into your classrooms.
