Keep Kids Safe
from Harmful
AI Tools
As children grow and explore the digital world, they might encounter disturbing technologies such as Undress AI. This type of artificial intelligence can manipulate images to make it appear as though someone is undressed, posing significant risks to privacy, safety, and mental health.
What Does It Mean?
Undress AI tools use AI to alter images by removing clothing, creating realistic but fake nude images. Although these images don't show the victim's real body, they can still be harmful.
What Are the Risks?
Undress AI can lead to serious issues such as cyberbullying, harassment, and even sextortion. The misuse of these images can cause significant emotional and psychological harm, especially to children and young people.
How to Protect Children
To protect your child from the dangers of Undress AI, it's crucial to have ongoing conversations about online safety and responsible behaviour. Here are some practical tips:
Have the First Conversation
Start talking about online safety early. Explain what Undress AI is and why it's harmful. Discuss appropriate online behaviour and the importance of positive relationships.

Set Website and App Limits
Block websites and set content restrictions on broadband, mobile networks, and devices to prevent accidental exposure to inappropriate content. Use these controls as part of a broader discussion about online safety.

Privacy and Security Awareness

Monitor and Guide
Stay engaged with your child's online activities. Regularly review the apps and websites they use and guide them on safe practices.
