Fake nudes created by AI 'nudify' sites are causing real harm, victims say
On: AI 'nudify' apps creating fake explicit images of classmates →News clips
Real segments from established news organizations on the threats in our advisories — the Blackout and Benadryl challenges, sextortion, AI ‘nudify’ abuse, Roblox and Discord predators, the microwaved-squishy-toy burns and AI chatbot toys, and the research on screens and teen mental health. Filter by the surface your child uses — apps and toys alike — or by the kind of harm, and press play to watch in place.
Every clip is attributed to its publisher and continuously re-verified, so a video that gets taken down is flagged and removed rather than left dead.
