Doxxing, Disclosure, and AI: What Parents and Educators Need to Know
How personal information becomes a weapon — and what families can actually do about it. A research-anchored guide to doxxing, voluntary self-disclosure, and the AI tools that are accelerating both threats.
Deepfakes, Synthetic Imagery, and Non-Consensual Intimate Images: A Guide for Families and Schools
AI can generate convincing fake photos and videos of real people — and it's being weaponized against students, women, and children. What it is, what the law says, and what to do if it happens.
AI Voice Cloning, Impersonation Scams, and Fraud: Protecting Your Family
Scammers are cloning voices, faking emergencies, and building relationships that don't exist. The FBI reports $16.6 billion in AI-facilitated fraud losses in 2024. Here's how to protect yourself.
AI in Hiring and the Workplace: Know Your Rights
Algorithms are screening your résumé, scoring your video interview, and managing your hours — often with documented bias. What you need to know and what you can do about it.
AI in Schools: Surveillance, Detection, and Student Rights
AI tools are flagging students for surveillance, accusing them of cheating, and building data profiles without parental knowledge. What's happening in your child's school — and what families can do.
Algorithmic Bias and Civil Rights: When AI Gets It Wrong
Algorithms are making decisions about bail, housing, credit, and healthcare — and their mistakes fall hardest on communities least able to fight back. The cases, the data, and your rights.
AI Chatbots and Mental Health: What the Research Shows
Millions of people in crisis are turning to AI for support — without knowing what these platforms are legally obligated to do when someone is in danger. The answer: nothing. Here's what the research says.
AI and Healthcare Decisions: When Algorithms Deny Your Care
AI is making decisions about your medical care — often without your knowledge, often wrong, and almost always difficult to appeal. What's happening, how to fight it, and what the law requires.
Every guide on this page is reviewed quarterly. Statistics in rapidly evolving fields are updated as new research becomes available.
