AI and Children’s Privacy Podcast
In Commissioner Hession David’s first episode of Un-redacted, the Sask IPC Podcast, she discusses with Diane Aldridge, the Deputy Commissioner, an extremely important topic regarding children’s privacy and generative artificial intelligence (AI).
“The real concern in terms of children is that these models can be used to create the deep fakes that are becoming very common in the cyber world at present. This is where a person’s voice or persona can be poached from an available social media platform, and their voice can be re-created so they seem to say something that they never said in a situation that never was.”
Technology continues to evolve rapidly, so much so that it can be hard for adults to keep up and fully understand the risks, let alone children. You might be asking yourself, so how can I protect my children? I think we can all agree that supervision and monitoring goes a long way but there is more to it than that as “there are no AI specific controls or visibility options to oversee or control how your child interacts with Gemini or most chatbots so you need to have the direct conversation with your child about the need to keep personal information private.”
For more information on what exactly generative AI is, its history, and guidance on how you can take steps to protect your loved ones, listen to the full episode here.
