Online Safety in the Age of AI

Abstract

Navigating AI safely as a student: LLM hallucinations, deepfakes, and fake documents; how to make (and therefore recognize) AI-generated images and edits; the tells that give AI images away; and what the privacy policies of major AI companies actually say, with the ethical considerations for NGO use.

Outline

1. Hallucinations, deepfakes, and fake documents
2. Creating your own AI images and edits
3. Emerging dangers in the age of AI
4. Recognizing AI-generated content (hands, textures, physics)
5. Privacy policies of AI companies

Key takeaways

• Hallucinations range from fact-mixed to pure fabrication, so verify
• Spot AI images by hands, plastic textures, and physics violations
• Read an AI tool's privacy policy before you feed it your data
