This webinar for educators and youth-serving professionals will cover:
- Current and emerging risks including AI companion chatbots, sexual and non-sexual deepfakes, AI influencers, and AI-facilitated cyberbullying and harassment
- How these technologies affect young people’s safety, privacy, development, and mental and social health
- Practical strategies and resources to help children and young people navigate these risks, and guidance on how and where to seek help.
