As technology advances, AI tools are becoming ubiquitous in daily life, improving efficiency and resource access. However, they also raise trust and safety concerns, particularly for survivors of domestic violence. This one-hour training will discuss how AI can offer misleading but seemingly empathetic advice. Key topics include common myths, benefits, privacy concerns, environmental impact, and safe usage practices for survivors and frontline workers, highlighting how these tools store and share information.
This webinar is intended for practitioners and professionals who regularly support victim-survivors of domestic violence who want a better understanding about how technology is misused in domestic and family violence situations.
