🚨 Parent Alert: Kids and AI-Generated P*rn


Hello Reader,

Our latest article, Kids Can Make AI Porn—4 Big Dangers You Need to Know, addresses a critical and urgent issue: the ease with which children can now use AI programs to create pornography.

This isn't just about watching the bad stuff; it's about actively making it. And that has some serious implications for our kids’ brains.

We’re exploring several dangers you might not have considered, including:

  • Brain Rewiring: How might creating this kind of content actually rewire a child's brain?
  • Poisoned Sexual Scripts: Could AI-generated porn really mess with how kids understand relationships and sex?
  • Targeting Real People: What happens when real people become targets in the world of deepfake pornography?
  • Legal Nightmares: What are the serious legal consequences for kids involved in creating or possessing AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM)?

The truth? Completely blocking AI access is almost impossible. Our best bet is to focus on intentional access and open, honest conversations.

Our new article has 3 powerful steps you can take to reduce AI risks for your kids.

Let’s stay vigilant! The more parents understand these emerging threats, the better equipped we are to guide and protect our children.

Warmly,

Kristen

Afterwards, I spent another 45 minutes answering several difficult but important questions from participants. It was awesome!
