Internet Safety

Each June, the ICAC Task Force Program participates in Internet Safety Month, which is dedicated to raising awareness around online safety amongst youths. This year, the ICAC Program will focus on Tracking the Trend: AI Awareness.

A few helpful tips to keep in mind:

  • Keep accounts private!
  • Know who you are talking to!
  • Know who you are sharing with!
  • You can always ask for help: https://report.cybertip.org/

Interested in learning more? Register here to join the ICAC Task Forces on June 26th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time in a live webinar where they will share information on everyday uses of AI, concerns about misuse and abuse and the impact on children, and resources if additional help is needed.

Are you a school-based professional or leader? If so, the Online Child Exploitation Prevention Initiative (OCEPI) has developed a deepfake AI guidance document to help combat this issue which is increasingly happening in schools. View the resource here.
