Decoding young people: How Generative AI has changed the game for digital safety

Emojois, acronyms, memes and deep fakes. What are your students saying to each other and how can you help identify harmful behaviours in the classroom before they head to contagion? With 46% of young people not knowing how to protect themselves from cyberbullying, and 44% unable to recognise Gen AI created content, this panel brings together leading digital safety experts to discuss Gen AI and the digital lexicon of Gen Alpa.
