➡️Understanding AI DEEPFAKES - as explained by the Cyber Safety Project & the e-Safety Commissioner
What are deepfakes?
A deepfake is a digital photo, video or sound file of a real person that has been created with AI (artificial intelligence) to make an extremely realistic but false depiction of them doing or saying something that they did not actually do or say.
Deepfakes are created using AI software that draws on real photos or recordings of the person to model and produce new content.
Key Points for Parents:
- Deepfakes use AI to create realistic but fake videos, images, or audio.
- They can be used for pranks, misinformation, bullying, scams, and other things.
- Young people may encounter deepfakes in social media, group chats, or gaming platforms.
- Teaching kids to question digital content is key to keeping them safe.
I have located the following sites/resources for parents to read more about Deepfakes.
