Deepfakes and synthetic media are becoming more common as the AI tools used to create them become readily available. 

Some of these tools are being used to create harmful content, including image-based abuse, involving young people both as targets and as creators.

This webinar from the eSafety Commissioner will cover:

  • how young people are experiencing AI-assisted image-based abuse – the tools, the behaviours, the impacts
  • the technological, social and cultural contexts that are driving the use of deepfakes
  • support strategies for professionals working with young people to both prevent and respond to AI-assisted image-based abuse.
