More open and direct conversations need to be held with youth about what these apps do and how they can be used to threaten them. These talks also need to happen with parents/caregivers/educators etc so a greater level of understanding is present. @c_todd #NCAPM25
Q5. “Nudify” apps use AI to remove clothing from photos, often without consent. What risks do these tools pose to minors, and how can we effectively address them? #NCAPM25

The developers of such 'Nudify' apps need to be asked and held accountable with respect to why an app like this needs to be in existence. @c_todd #NCAPM25

To protect young people from being blackmailed, awareness and education needs to be increased to the adults who surround young people in order for the appropriate safety conversations to happen. Without that knowledge, we are swimming upstream. @c_todd #NCAPM25

A2: Teach critical thinking, not just rules. Help kids think through scenarios, such as “What would you do if…?” or “How would you feel if…?” Normalize asking for help and praise them when they do speak up—even about small things. #NCAPM25

A3. (1/3) AI is being misused to create fake — but harmful and realistic — child abuse imagery. The tech may be new and imagery fake, but the harm is real.

Generative AI is being used nefariously to create intimate imagery and exploitative materials that is used to threaten individuals. These situations of threats are not gender specific but can be created into a dangerous situation for anyone, especially children. @c_todd #NCAPM25

Having many supportive adults in a child's life (not just parents) is a must and is IMPORTANT to have!! @c_todd #NCAPM25
A2. Building trust is key to building safety.
Adults can foster a safer environment by listening and keeping conversations open. Remind kids that it's never their fault if someone shows them inappropriate content or makes them uncomfortable online. #NCAPM25

A2. It’s extremely important for parents to stay involved in their kids online lives just as much as their social lives. Make what’s happening on social media part of family discussions. Find mutual interests in games and other activities. #NCAPM25
