A photo of your child does not have to be embarrassing, private, or inappropriate to become a problem online. It could be an ordinary school photo. A selfie posted on social media. A short video from a birthday. Even a few seconds of someone’s voice. Artificial intelligence can now manipulate ordinary images, video, and audio…
