This essential training provides child-serving professionals—such as youth workers, social workers, and educators—with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR). Participants will explore the benefits and risks of these technologies, particularly their implications for child abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Participants will:
1. Explain the core concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR), and describe their potential benefits and risks for youth and child-serving professionals.
2. Identify and assess the unique dangers these technologies pose, with emphasis on child exploitation—including the creation and distribution of AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
3. Apply and recommend practical strategies to protect youth from AI/VR/AR-related harm and respond effectively to suspected cases of maltreatment or exploitation involving these technologies.
