Clinical and family psychologist, Dr. Jennifer Hartstein of Hartstein Psychological Services, joins NBC News Now to discuss digital parenting in the age of AI, as the issue of deep fakes is on the rise. As a parent, how do you talk to your kids about AI and learn more about how teenagers are using this for harm.
Deep fakes are AI-generated content that teenagers are using to bully others. Bullying can present itself in AI as teenagers using apps to alter images or videos, making non-explicit photos appear explicit by inserting other kids or students into videos or photos, often making them pornographic. There are undressing apps that can take a regular photo and make it appear to be a hyper-realistic nude photo by using AI to remove clothing, then sharing the photos or videos with others.
Dr. Jen, along with digital safety expert Adam Dodge, discusses how parents can talk to their kids about this issue. Having the conversation with your kids, being open to listening to them, and understanding what they know about this technology is key.
